Before we discuss real SEC football, something else must be ridiculed discussed, and that is the utter contempt What We Learned has for the praise a certain so-called football game received this week.
That game would be Baylor at West Virginia. The score was 70-63. One quarterback threw for 656 yards and eight touchdowns. The other threw for 581 yards and five touchdowns.
Do it when other people are on the field trying to stop you and we'll mention your names.
Below is the weekly list of what we learned from watching SEC games in Week 5.
1. Arkansas thought it was in the aforementioned atrocity. How else do you explain the Razorbacks allowing 58 points to Texas A&M two weeks after allowing 52 to Alabama? At least they scored 10 points this time instead of being shut out.
Look, it's no secret the Razorbacks (1-4, 0-2) are deplorable. Our thesaurus is getting overworked just trying to find new words to describe their incompetence, and the season is still less than halfway through. Please, MAKE IT STOP!!
2. Georgia did what Georgia does. From the files of the "Yeah, I Could See That" Department, Georgia stuck to its ways, squeaking by Tennessee 51-44. The Mark Richt on the hot seat/not on the hot seat merry-go-round landed on "ON" this week. Whoever picked this day in the pool can claim their prize at the service counter.
After being down 17 and coming back to take a lead, Tennessee coach Derek Dooley said his team survived a freight train. Freight trains don't senselessly derail for no reason. Georgia, however, does.
The Bulldogs (5-0, 3-0) fumbled, fumbled again and then celebrated a tying field goal like they had done something to be proud of. They didn't. They survived a tornado of their own creation by kicking a field goal just before halftime.
Tennessee was rightly stoked to be back in business because the Vols (3-2, 0-2) were on the verge on being blown out. But Georgia wasn't about to sully its reputation by closing out a win. That wouldn't be good Southern manners, you see. So the Bulldogs proceeded to squander that lead with two fumbles to make it a fair fight.
And Georgia was supposed to be better now that several players are no longer suspended following drug violations. How's that working for you?
3. Missouri is, uh, you know, um, bad. This gets said almost every week here so why we continue to learn it is a mystery, but we continue to hold out hope.
Well, no more. We are officially off the Missouri-might-do-something-worth-watching bandwagon. We reserve the right to jump back on, but only after the Tigers actually do something worth watching and we miss it because we were seeing how many points West Virginia could score against Blacksburg High School, which has to be less than 70.
Missouri (3-2, 0-2) barely beat Central Florida 21-16 on the road. AHEM. On…the…road. Those three words don't belong a sentence when playing a directional school. Not for an SEC school anyway. Is Missouri really a member? Can somebody check the paperwork on that?
Maybe when basketball season rolls around we'll find out why two Tiger teams weren't enough for SEC commissioner Mike Slive.
UPDATE: Googled it and there are Bengal, Siberian and Sumatran tigers. You win, Darwin.
4. Tennessee can't tackle. It's really a simple thing. You grab the dude with the ball and yell for help. Eventually someone else comes over and the guy with the ball says "OK, you got me" and goes to one knee.
But Tennessee likes to wave at the runner and he goes by, usually to the end zone. Somebody's got to ruin that nice, expensive paint job, and it might as well be him. Somebody needs to tell Derek Dooley's pants that they aren't quite hideous and distracting enough.
Put some polka dots or flashing neon lights on those things. Maybe the guy with the ball will get vertigo. At this point, that seems to the Vols' only hope.
Maybe Tennessee's new coach will teach some fundamentals next year (Oops, that wasn't supposed to be used for another five weeks).
5. Steve Spurrier tries to outcoach himself. If you had Marcus Lattimore on your team, and you had 10 other people not named Marcus Lattimore, and you had the ball on the 1-yard line, who would you give it to?
Spurrier chose Guy Not Named Marcus Lattimore Wearing No. 14. Usually he goes by Connor Shaw. Kentucky now calls him Guy Who Didn't Score A Touchdown Against Us. We're fairly certain that name would not fit Marcus Lattimore in that situation. South Carolina didn't score on this opportunity in the first quarter and didn't break the scoreless tie and later went into halftime losing – LOSING TO KENTUCKY – 17-7.
If losing at playing poker has taught us anything it's that nothing beats the Joker (Phillips), unless you have a wild card. We're safe calling Marcus Lattimore a pretty valuable wild card.
Spurrier finally figured that out, and Lattimore rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns and South Carolina (5-0, 3-0) won 38-17, scoring 31 unanswered points. The Ole Ball Coach just wanted to make it interesting.
That being said…
6. Kentucky may get more SEC wins than Tennessee. Yeah, we said it. Think about it. This may not be hard to do.
The teams have an identical schedule except for one team. Tennessee plays Alabama and Kentucky faces Arkansas. Missouri and Vanderbilt are winnable games for both teams and both are yet to play Mississippi State.
Tennessee has South Carolina later in the year, which Kentucky (1-4, 0-2) already lost to. Kentucky has a date coming up with Georgia. Neither team is likely to be bowl eligible so when they meet in their final game of the year, this could be the only thing either has to play for.
7. Our new favorite team is Towson. Nothing makes you want to watch Towson play more than hearing it has a lead over LSU. It didn't last (of course it didn't last, it's freaking Towson) but it was still worth a good laugh and a few good natured text messages – and a Twitter post – at LSU's expense.
LSU then had enough of that nonsense and won 38-22. Wait, what? That's right, Towson brought it to Baton Rouge and would not go quietly into the night.
It was probably an oversight by LSU (5-0, 1-0), who was probably looking ahead to Florida (4-0, 3-0) next week, but even with that LSU should have crushed Towson like an empty soda can. LSU's weak early scheduling has done it no favors and the Tigers might have a huge problem in the Swamp.
8. Off weeks are not fun. How can we be expected to ridicule Auburn, Florida, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt when they don't even play?
Like this: If you were really as tough as you think, you would have scheduled Towson. Or at least traveled to Hawaii to get a 13th game. Beaches, surfing, a pig with an apple in its mouth (on second thought, that's what Arkansas is for). Anyway, off weeks are for the faint of heart.
UPDATE: Googled it and every team gets one, so move along there's nothing to see here.
9. Alabama (and Mississippi, too) should not be playing at 9 p.m. That timeslot is supposed to be for games like Stanford vs. Fresno State, Cal vs. Oregon State and Oregon vs. whatever bad Pac-12 team lets them score 60 (this week it was Washington State, but they only gave up 51).
For the love of Paul Bryant, the game ended Sunday morning. Doesn't ESPN know people in the Bible Belt have to be at church the next day? How else can they make amends for the profanities they use Saturday afternoon and the alcohol they (did not) consume Saturday night?
For those hardy Bama fans who chose to stay up, they were rewarded with an uninspired performance in a 33-14 win. Lucky for the Tide (5-0, 2-0) Nick Saban gets two weeks to tell them how bad their effort was before playing Missouri.
Poor Missouri. It has no idea what's coming.
10. Next week is what SEC football is all about. Finally there are no cupcakes on the schedule. Six conference games are on tap, including a couple of showdowns among ranked teams.
We'll get a better idea of how good LSU is, see if South Carolina can live up to the hype, gauge Texas A&M's status, see if Missouri can get a conference win and see who between Auburn and Arkansas wants to be in the running for last place.
That's what SEC football is supposed to be. We can't wait.

SYDNEY — The Australian radio station that made a hoax call to a London hospital about the Duchess of Cambridge says it's canceling the show and will cooperate with authorities after a nurse who answered the phone was found dead.
"The radio show won't go ahead into the future," Rhys Holleran, chief executive officer of Southern Cross Media Group Ltd., which owns the 2Day FM station, said in a video message on its website. The Hot 30 show, which broadcast the segment, has been terminated, while prank calls have been banned across the company and advertising suspended on the station, Southern Cross said in a regulatory statement Monday.
Southern Cross plunged the most in about 15 months in Sydney trading Monday. Two presenters from 2Day FM impersonating Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles phoned London's King Edward VII hospital last week seeking details about the health of Kate Middleton after she was admitted for acute morning sickness. The nurse who took the call, Jacintha Saldanha, was found dead Dec. 7.
"The death is being treated as unexplained," the Metropolitan Police said in a statement on their website, updated Dec. 8.
Telstra Corp., the country's biggest phone company, and Wesfarmers Ltd.'s Coles supermarket chain cut advertising on the station amid worldwide debate about the incident. A post about it on the station's Facebook page attracted almost 26,000 comments and an online petition calling for the presenters to be sacked had signatures from Toronto to Cyprus.
"These young DJs are trying harder and harder, and the marketplace has become very competitive," Mark McDonnell, an analyst at BBY Ltd. in Sydney, said by phone. "There's relentless pressure on coming up with something that will be new and fresh and topical."
The DJs, Mel Greig and Michael Christian, never expected to be put through, according to emailed quotes from an interview broadcast Monday night on Nine Entertainment Co.'s "A Current Affair."

ICC color profiles control how colors look on your monitor. When you select an ICC profile, you first associate it with your monitor, and then, if you choose, make it the default profile. You can associate more than one ICC color profile with your monitor, but only one profile at a time can be the default profile.
To select a default ICC color profile for your monitor in Windows, follow these steps:
Note: If you have installed the drivers for your monitor, you will see an ICC profile for your monitor in the list. It will look something like sm171v. There will also be several dozen standard ICC profiles including AdobeRGB1998, sRGB Color Space Profile, CIERGB and WideGamutRGB. You can select your monitor's ICC profile or one of the standard profiles. In essence, choose the profile that you think looks best. Also, be aware that some of the profiles listed are printer profiles which can not be used by your monitor.
Note: You can associate additional profiles to your monitor by repeating steps 6 and 7.

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Cortlandt Manor, NY - (February 10, 2012) – Marie Covais wasn't feeling so well when she was admitted to Hudson Valley Hospital Center on Feb. 7, but now she's singing a different tune – a birthday tune.
The Jefferson Valley resident celebrated her 93rd birthday at Hudson Valley Hospital Center on Feb. 8. The staff didn't want her to miss her special day so they presented her with a cake and invited family members.
Marie is very active and loves to dance, bowl, knit and garden. She was so happy with her new friends at HVHC that she decided to volunteer to knit blankets for needy patients at the Hospital as part of a program at HVHC.
Suzanne Mateo, MA, BSN, RN, administrative director of nursing, said that Marie is one of many older patients who have been benefitting by a new program at the hospital called NICHE which stands for Nursing Improving Care for Healthsystems Elders. The hospital is one of 300 hospitals – and only two in Westchester and Putnam Counties - involved in the program nationwide.
To receive the prestigious designation, the hospital had to develop a program that treats older people with compassion, keeps their health from deteriorating, and works with their families to prepare patients for leaving the hospital, said Mateo, who coordinates the NICHE program.
People over 65 are the fastest growing age group in the nation, making up 12.9 percent of the population or about 1 in 8 people in the United States. By 2030, estimates are that there will be about 72.1 million older adults, according to U.S. Census data.
Marie said that staff at the hospital were great and worked with her to make sure that she follows through on healthy habits such as drinking lots of fluids to stay hydrated.
"I feel so much better,'' she said Feb. 9 as she was getting ready to leave the hospital. "I'm very happy to be going home feeling like myself again.''

text: 5. Yet another way to rig a shrimp for basic casting and drift-fishing is to run the hook through the tip of the tail, either crosswise or up through the center of the tail. The latter keeps the hook point clear of bottom snags. Many experts prefer this method because it allows the shrimp to kick freely and puts the hook in a good position for striking when a game fish eats the bait head-first. The tail fan can be left on, or removed to provide additional scent.

vacation rental description
Vacation in sheer splendor at Sea Star Palace, our 5,000+ square foot custom-built home in Cinnamon Beach. It boasts 3 master suites, 2 balconies with ocean views, a patio, wet bar, huge HDTV, and a new private pool (in March 2014) that will make you feel like royalty!
Just yards from the sparkling Atlantic Ocean and coquina-shell sands of Cinnamon Beach, Sea Star Palace is located in an exclusive gated community with access to 2 swimming pools (1 oceanfront, the other heated); a clubhouse with fitness center, game room, and snack bar; a children's water splash playground; a Jacuzzi; and private access to the beach. There's so much to do, you may find yourself curtailing some of your sightseeing to enjoy fun-filled days at "home"!
Sea Star Palace is beautifully landscaped, a Mediterranean-style house in tones of peach. It contains 3 storeys, with sweeping views of the Cinnamon Beach resort and partial ocean views on the 2nd and 3rd floor balconies. You'll feel like you're on top of the world when you sit outside and survey the panoramic horizon!
On the first floor, you'll find a big family room with a built-in wet bar as well as leather couches and homey Oriental rugs. Let the kids spread out their projects here, break out the board games, and get comfortable after a busy day out of doors.
On the same level is one of the master suites, boasting a king-size bed and sliding glass doors leading out to a lovely patio with seating and a table for casual dining. The master bath is palatial too, tempting you to linger late in the morning before rejoining the group! The 1st floor also has a 2nd bedroom with a queen bed.
The second floor features the formal living room, with a 65" HDTV in the entertainment center with Direct TV and a package of over 500 channels, sink-right-in couches and chairs that encourage you to nap, and a long bank of sun-soaked windows. Just beyond this area are a table and chairs for informal dining, and you may have to turn that space into your computer area -- you have free wireless Internet at Sea Star Palace -- or break out the Monopoly and show no mercy!
Next to the living room is the kitchen, a gourmet cook's dream of up-to-the-minute appliances, gadgets, and all the cookware and dishes you could ask for. The breakfast bar, set with stools, encourages helpers to come keep the cook company. And the formal dining room is adjacent, a sun-drenched room with a table set for 8 beneath a modern chandelier.
There is a master suite on this floor too, with a king-sized bed, an HDTV, and an en suite bedroom. Slide back the glass doors and step onto the balcony, where you can see a strip of ocean and plenty of beautiful resort! The perfect place for stargazing, it also makes a lovely setting for that first cup of morning coffee.
The third floor contains 2 more bedrooms: yet another master, this one with both a king and a queen sofa bed, wet bar, HDTV, and bathroom; and a smaller room with a queen-sized bed. A sleeper sofa brings the total bed space to 14, with plenty of privacy for multiple couples or families traveling together!
Your favorite place at Sea Star Palace might just be the third-storey balcony, with its sweeping views of the resort and peekaboo glimpses of the Atlantic Ocean! From up here you can smell the salty sea air, feel the balmy breezes, and survey the entire neighborhood. Magnificent!
There are 5½ bathrooms in our house, and you'll find all the linens and towels you need waiting for you here, as well as a washer and dryer to keep everyone's togs clean. Spacious, immaculately clean, and beautifully decorated, Sea Star Palace is a house you'll want to explore throughout your vacation, discovering new "favorite spots" every day!
Best of all, it's just a hop, skip, and jump from the beach, with its wide sands and sparkling waves. This is a great shelling beach, and it's also ideal for everything from surfing to sunbathing, boogie-boarding to bocce ball. Come stay here very soon, and experience luxury living

1 WildEarth Guardians
312 Montezuma Ave.
On a regular basis, volunteers from WildEarth Guardians head on over to wild waterways and "Stream Team" by planting 55,000 trees over the course of six events each spring. While they're at it, they remove a few hundred non-native trees with kindness but firmness.
While this may be WildEarth's most visual event—Associate Director Carol Norton says, "It's important for people to have a visceral experience of healing the land"—it is far from the only thing the group does. With a four-point stewardship mission including concentration on water, wildlife, wild places and climate, there's little not cared for in the way of Nature Herself.
These people are determined: The volunteers and employees march out into the world to make it cleaner, purer and safer, and they will not settle for less. They advocate first and choose their battles wisely—"Protect the best, restore the rest" is one of their mottoes, according to Norton—but aren't afraid to turn to their handy in-house litigators. At that point, people who are just a little disrespectful of Mother Earth need to be more than a little frightened.
Volunteers are needed for office work, tree planting, advocacy and just about everything--so, Santa Fe, you voted for it, now go help out. (Caroline K Gorman)

Their task was to find vintage advertising … one of my personal favorite collectibles, and the pickings are good. They are up for the challenge and among the treasures they snag is a rare Red Rock Cola piece, a Sterling Card case and antique hobbyhorse. Can't wait to see what the hobbyhorse looks like.

The Frontline program that airs next week on KSPS Spokane at 9pm/10mtn is one of those news stories that takes some investigative chops to put together.
Frontline and ProPublica seem to do a great job on these types of investigations.
You know you love them … those adorable little Australian creatures.
This program doesn't however spend too much time appreciating their cuddliness. Instead it will bring you face-to-face with their grunts and snorts… bellows and roars and their day to day dramas.Read more →

A program that's already aired this week really peaked my interest as I read about it on this week's schedule.
It's a regional story about Central Idaho's Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness which was heretofore unknown to me.

Are you a fan of the popular CSI TV series? If so you may want to catch this Frontline program on Tuesday, April 17 at 9p.m. on KSPS in Spokane.
"The Real CSI" promises to tell us how reliable, or unreliable, the science behind forensics really is.

I love stories about the courageous men and women who resisted the Nazi's tyranny in WWII and outwitted the enemy. And especially when it tells the story of a group of women like "Irena Sendler: In the Name of Their Mothers" which airs this Sunday evening at 11p.m. in Spokane on KSPS.
What a great story … this group of very young Polish women headed by Irena Sendlerowa (commonly known as Irena Sendler), is credited with saving the lives of more than 2,500 Jews, most were children, in German-occupied Poland in WWII.

Did you know all the men in Washington State got together to vote for women in November 1910?
True story.
Washington State women were the first in the country to have the right to vote. Seems odd that it was only 100 years ago doesn't it?
There's a KSPS-produced documentary available right here called "Courage in Corsets: Winning the Vote in Washington State."

Given the high profile deaths of Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger, Anna Nicole Smith and most recently Whitney Houston, it's time we all look more closely at what's happening in this country with prescription drug use.
When we think of drug addicts we often think of those back-of-the alley, downtrodden, older, perhaps homeless people.
However, that's not an accurate picture. The face of drug addiction has changed.Read more →

There's only one episode of Downton Abbey left this season and it's next Sunday evening.

Friday evening late (11:30p.m.) which is late in my book, is Northwest Profiles. But I'm going to the Mythbuster's Show at 8p.m. that night so I'll just catch the program before I hit the bed. At least that's the plan.
If you're interested in all-things-related-toWorld War II … don't miss the Nova program tomorrow night called "3D Spies of WWII."
The program premieres Wednesday, Jan. 18 at 8 p.m. on KSPS in Spokane and this story of suspense and wartime secret intelligence hasn't been told until now.Read more →

There are so many ways to get news these days … it's pretty incredible if you think about it. Even in the last five years changes in technology mean that we can go online to news sites like PBS Newshour or NPR, use Ustream live video, or catch up with what's happening in the world using Twitter or other social media apps.
And it all becomes so very personal since we can use these tools at almost any time and place we choose through the use of mobile devices.

I, like millions of other people, was so very sad upon hearing about the death of Steve Jobs.
I've been an Apple devotee for many years … appreciative of not only the unique ability of Apple products to rise to the top of the tech world's best, but also a love of what I perceive to be some of the most unique, clean and most creative design of Apple products.
All the products as well as the branding came under the watch of Steve Jobs.

Did you catch the first installation of "America in Primetime" last night? Called the Independent Woman, the one-hour show, part of a new four-part series, traced the evolution of women on American TV from zany Lucy Show comedic talents of Lucy Ricardo to transitional roles like Laura Petrie's in the 1960's and Mary Tyler Moore to that of Murphy Brown, another transitional role that portrayed changes in American culture through comedy.
If you love TV, arguably one of our country's best creative endeavors, as much as I do, the new four-part series called "America in Primetime" which premiered Sunday evening and runs on consecutive Sundays through Nov. 20, will be on top of your priority list.

If you read this blog you probably know that I've been away from Spokane for several years and just moved back last August. So I've been playing catch up on what's news in Spokane these days; who's who on the city council … mayor … police chief, sheriff and any number of other subjects including elections and such.
For the past few weeks we've been inundated with political ads and advertising pro and con on different initiatives on the upcoming ballot. If you're anything like me, you probably would like to see some objective-type programming that explains some of the issues and highlights the candidates running for the different positions. Yes?

Tonight's the night for the premiere of "Women WAR & Peace" on KSPS in Spokane. The five-hour series airs at 10 p.m. tonight and the rest of the series continues on Tuesdays throughout October and into November. Check the site for specifics dates.
As we all know, the United States "officially" bans women from combat while the reality is that they already serve on the front lines alongside men. The ban is somewhat ridiculous since while women are not officially assigned to units which are likely to see combat, they can be "attached" to them and fight alongside men.

Have you noticed your grocery bill going up and up and up? I certainly have. Compared to last year at this time I bet I am paying at least 10 percent more on groceries!
My mother was queen of getting her money's worth, could save money even during winters when my dad wasn't working and she passed all that wisdom down to her four daughters and two sons.
However, budgeting for families isn't an easy task these days especially given the dire jobs situation in some parts of the country.
So I was very happy to see that PBS' and Sesame Workshop (creators of Sesame Street) are launching a new campaign to end child hunger called "Food For Thought: Eating Well on a Budget."Read more →

National Lymphoma Awareness Month is commemorated each September to help raise public attention for this type of blood cancer. Lymphoma is not a single cancer but a group of many related cancers. In fact, there are nearly 30 different types of lymphoma. They are grouped under two categories: Hodgkin Disease and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. These two broad groups may be similar in their symptoms and the tests that are required, but they behave differently when they affect a person.
While other cancers have shown a decline, Lymphoma is on the rise -- according to the American Cancer Society, it is estimated that there will be 65,980 new cases of Lymphoma in the United States this year. But with early diagnosis it is often a very treatable cancer with good prognosis.
On Tuesday, September 27th at 7:00 PM Pacific Time KSPS-TV (7.1) will present the one-hour documentary "Not As I Pictured: A Pulitzer Prize-Winning Photographer's Journey Through Lymphoma." The documentary follows John Kaplan 's experiences as he deals with life afflicted with lymphoma. John is a Pulitzer Prize photographer who once worked for the Spokesman-Review. This Sunday, the S-R will feature a story about John and the documentary.
Although the topic is serious, NOT AS I PICTURED is upbeat, very positive, and ends with John's remission and return to health.
The documentary is scheduled for a repeat on Sunday, October 2nd at 1:00 PM on KSPS.

If you're old like me … you probably remember watching the program called "An American Family" that started running on Thursday evenings at 9p.m. in 1973.
Actually in 1973 I was still in high school in Spokane. I remember vaguely seeing the program but I'm sure I was much more concerned with whatever angst or epiphany I was having back in the day.
Be that as it may, the 12-hour documentary chronicled the daily lives of the Santa Barbara Loud family – parents Pat and Bill Loud and their five children Lance, Delilah, Grant, Kevin and Michele Loud.Read more →

I had a quiet weekend – spending time with my daughter and 15-year old grandson was the big highlight. I think everyone should arrange to hang out with a 15-year old on occasion. The world through their eyes is so naïve and innocent … and incredibly fun!
My grandson is a wannabe stand up comedian. So I'm always checking out videos of comics that he can watch – preferably those who are funny and not raunchy.

I love just about any and all kinds of music from classical to hip-hop and pop to Celtic and R&B to the sounds of Big Bands. If you feel the same way, you'll be happy to learn how many choices you have for music this week on KSPS.
Like I have, you've probably been seeing all the programming this week around the anniversary date of 9/11 -- which is this Sunday. Although it seems unbelievable to me, it's been 10 years since the tragedy of 9/11 played out on TV for millions in America and across the world.
I will always remember that day … getting an early morning call from my husband while I was getting ready for work in Portland. A week before that date in 2001, I had started a new job as an education reporter for a newspaper group in the Portland suburbs.

For the past decade, Between the Lions has entertained while helping children acquire basic reading skills and a love of reading. Rights to the series will expire at end of August.
The series has earned 10 Emmy awards. Independent studies have shown the series has boosted children's early reading skills in key areas, such as phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency and vocabulary. But the true success of a series lies with you the viewer. On behalf of Theo, Cleo, Leona, and Lionel, I would like to thank you for your support of this series.

You know what they say – perception is everything. You may have the perception that public broadcasting stations are running along just fine with no help from you.

Why do huge swarms of rats overrun a bamboo forest in northeast India once every half-century? Hmmm. I can't say I have the answer to that one right on the tip of my tongue.
Not just rats but black rats, that appear to spring from nowhere to spread destruction and famine in their wake. What the heck you say? Me too.
Apparently bamboo forests in part of northeast India go into "exuberant flowering" … followed by the plague of rats. And lucky us – NOVA and National Geographic have captured this ordeal in vivid detail and the show is scheduled to run Wednesday evening at 8 p.m.Read more →

Don't you love this time of year … farmer's markets, fresh fruits and veggies, barbecues and picnics galore? Summer has always been a time when I love to spend early mornings gardening, when it's cool and quiet.

Did you catch the Capitol 4th on KSPS TV? Great program! I watched between barbecues and going downtown to see the fireworks display. Both were great of course. Spokane couldn't compete with what was called the greatest display of fireworks anywhere in the nation!
Equally sublime were the entertainers who provided incredible music for the event. My favorites were comedian Steve Martin who played with the Steep Canyon Rangers and American Idol winner Jordin Sparks.

I love watching just about any shows having to do with history on KSPS.
My latest favorite is the American Experience documentary is called "Abraham and Mary Lincoln: A House Divided."
I watched part one of the series several weeks ago, and loved every minute of it. Part one covered both Abraham and Mary's childhoods - his, in a remote backwoods log cabin and hers, - in a wealthy Kentucky home. It describes their courtship and marriage. Mary is quoted as saying - "He'll be President of the United States one day. If I had not thought so I never would have married him."

I have been a card-carrying, devoted DIY watcher and doer for many years now. I crochet, sew, collage, shop vintage (both clothes and furniture), paint, garden and will tackle many a DIY project if it doesn't involve saw blades or cement — although I have been known to attempt a concrete pathway and the idea of smoothing concrete is very, very appealing to me.
I'm a big fan of Create TV. There is so much available on this channel from cooking to arts & crafts to gardening and home improvement, not to mention a number of award-winning travel programs. I watch Create TV all the time but I didn't realize that on Saturdays you can watch a full day of how-to programs focusing on a single theme.

I love, love, love antiques. And not just because they're unique and wonderful vintage pieces.

In January Northwest Profiles featured a segment titled "Challenging Vision" the story of Bernard Vinther, a visually impaired machinist. On March 17th Mr. Vinther was involved in a pedestrian-automobile accident in Kennewick, Washington. Mr. Vinther suffered minor injuries but Kaber, his guide dog, did not survive the accident.
From reports of the incident, the loss of Kaber has created a tremendous void within the Vinther family. We extend our best wishes to those involved and hope for a speedy recovery from the physical and psychological trauma that has occurred.
I've included a link to the Tri-City Herald's online story of the incident and a quick link to the Northwest Profiles segment on Mr. Vinther.
In January of 2005 Masterpiece Theatre presented a five-part mini-series titled "Island at War."
