John William Wagner was born in Spokane on April 20, 1921. He grew up on his family farm at Post Falls, Idaho, where he helped with the farming and chores until he was drafted into the Army in 1942. He was stationed in Italy, Germany, Africa and France, which was his favorite country because of the wonderful vineyards.
After the war, John owned a small restaurant in Hillyard, where he met Lillian Wageman when she had car trouble and needed to use his phone. They married and had three sons, Tom, Tony and Randy.

Spokane County Sheriff's Deputies Michael Northway and Joseph M. Spink received the state's Law Enforcement Medal of Honor in ceremonies today in Olympia.
Northway and Spink were seriously injured while trying to apprehend a federal fugitive in north Spokane. The deputies were able to return the gunfire, forcing the suspect, Charlie Wallace, to flee the scene.
The fugitive later led various law enforcement personnel on a car chase that ended when the fleeing suspect crashed at the intersection of Crawford Avenue and U.S. Highway 395 in Deer Park. Moments later he took his own life.
The 2013 election season, limited mainly to local races, will officially start on May 13.
Residents must officially file their candidacy in the election office where they reside, in person or online, between May 13-17.
The only regional race is the state senate seat currently held by Republican John Smith, who was appointed to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Bob Morton. The race this fall is to fill the final year remaining on Morton's four-year term.
The senate race carries a $421.06 filing fee. State law bases filing fees on 10 percent of the position's annual salary.
Despite cool and windy weather in many parts of the state, anglers had a lot of success reeling in large trout on April 27, the opening day of this year's lowland lakes fishing season.
Based on creel checks conducted at 98 lakes around the state, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) estimates that anglers caught an average of 4.6 trout on opening day.
Riverside High School senior Courtney Davis has committed to play basketball at Walla Walla Community College for the incoming season.
A three-year varsity starter and the team captain, Davis, the fourth Lady Ram to break the 1,000-point career barrier, averaged 15.3 points per game last season.
Davis, the team's most valuable player, received first team All-Northeast A League recognition for the third straight season this winter.
Earning a 3.86 grade point average, Davis has been recognized as a member of the National Honor Society while maintaining an honor roll status.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Frank Millhorn, age 77.
He was born in Odessa, Wash., on Jan. 22, 1936, to Charley and Hilda (Haase) Millhorn and passed from this life early in the morning on April 28, 2013.
Barbara Reine Corenevsky, 85, a resident of Deer Park, formerly of San Francisco, passed away on March 13, 2013, in Deer Park.
Barbara is the loving mother of Cathlene Babbick of Deer Park. Her grandson, James Laurin Jr., resides in Germany. Barbara also enjoyed four great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Alec, in 1988; her parents, Albert and Marion Elkington; and her sister, Eleanor West.

A couple of weeks ago, laying in my cottage at Traveler's Rest, I had an interesting moment of being stuck between sleep and awareness. I was literally stuck, unable to move my limbs, knowing I was nearly asleep. I remember thinking this should have worried me but I felt peacefully safe. I also knew I would eventually wake up.
It was day 3 and I was on the wall in semi-finals at the USA Sport Climbing National Competition in Atlanta, Georgia. I was only a few moves from the highpoint for the day. I shook out for a few more seconds and then it was go time. I took a deep breath and made my next move to a crimp. Then the next and the next.

Town Square
Guarding POTUS
Original post made by Paul Losch on Jun 7, 2013
First of all, I think that it's great that he comes to see us. As best as I recall, George W. [portion removed] did not come here one time. Were we too smart for his Texas intellect?
The POTUS entourage blew though town about his time a year ago to raise money for his re-election campaign. It took place at the home of Melissa Meyers, now Yahoo CEO, at a typical north Palo Alto neighborhood, three blocks from my place.
Barricades everywhere, at least 50 motorcycle cops plus the armored limos driving along Middlefield to the street that shall not be named, but near the HP "Garage" home.
My daughter was on her way last evening walking to the CalTrain, and discovered a similar disruption on another nearby street, which also shall remain nameless. Incredible disruption, even for a mere pedestrian trying to do a normal thing.
I am glad that our President comes here, even if it is to raise money for campaigns. I prefer that to a President who chooses to not show up.
I will accept the inconveniences. They indicate that what we think and do around here is taken seriously in DC.
on Jun 7, 2013 at 1:30 pm
I marvel at all the posts that fall into the anti-Obama visit category. I, too, would rather our President visit while on his way to do business. Those that moan about traffic must be out of town every Friday night Stanford plays at home! Just wait to see what a Monday night Niner game does to 101 and 85 in a couple years!
Those that whine about the only reason being to raise money for various causes? Most curious if they object to the other side raising that kind of money. Personally, I agree with the posters that argue for taking money out of campaigns. A good public financing program, coupled with forcing TV stations (in exchange for using the public commons) should offer vastly reduced rates for political ads. Ass it stands, TV stations have their most profitable quarters during election cycles, with the political ads driving ad rates up for all advertisers, under the current arrangement. Someone had a great post about members of congress and their required 'call time', in one of the Obama threads. Things have to change.
Someone also had a post about Obama doing more public events while out here. I agree. I would love to take my grandkids to hear a president speak.
Even Paul's 'shrub'.
on Jun 7, 2013 at 1:55 pm
Paul - I'm also glad that Obama came to visit, ironically that same "nameless" street hosted John Kerry and Al Gore years ago (not at the same time).
on Jun 7, 2013 at 2:06 pm
Web Link
Obama is a scripted person, he cannot simply explain his own thoughts in a straightforward way. Look at the link, above, to see what happens when his script goes missing, this morning. Obama is also a hypocrite, since he criticized GWB's security measures, while campaigning, but amplifies them while governing.

Paul Losch reminds me of "all hat, no cattle", as they say in cattle country.

Yes No
Superb Quality Product
I love the eucalyptus fragrance. Thymes makes a superb quality product that is long lasting and comes in a glass container with a beauty design on it. I give Thymes products as gifts because I know my friends and family will love them as much as I do.
Barely Any Aroma
I am disappointed with this candle. After two hours there was barely any scent noticeable.
Eucalyptic Dream
I have used the eucalyptic candle multiple times, especially when I have seasonal allergy symptoms, and I have been very impressed with its medicinal properties. I have chosen to purchase this candle and gifted it to others because I know it will be a homerun! It leaves a refreshing and cool scent that is not to overpowering with menthol-like Vicks mentholatum rub and its not to sweet. I love this candle,
Perfect Home Scent
The smell of this candle is light and not overbearing, but it definitely fills the room. It's my favorite thing to light if I've cooked a meal that lingers too long in the air.

DS WEEK - GTA Chinatown Wars and Pokemon PlatinumPosted Monday, March 16, 2009, at 11:39 AM
The Nintendo DS has been around for a couple years now and has made a huge mark on the handheld gaming business. The system itself is the best selling game console in history and still growing, which means that more people out there own a DS than any other gaming system. That's pretty huge for the game developers who want to put there game in front of as many potential buyers as possible. I've been fortunate to have a DS since the day it was launched and have enjoyed it countless hours. It makes waiting in line so much more interesting. My daughter is just turning 3 years old this month and we recently purchased a DS for her because of all the amazing games geared for the little ones. There is a Crayola game that allows her to pull up a picture and color it with the stylus (did I mention the DS has a touchscreen?). She loves it and I love not having to pick up all the crayons spread across the living room floor - or should I say my wife enjoys not cleaning up the crayons spread across the living room floor as anybody that knows me, knows that I tend to get preoccupied with other things and put off cleaning or just hope that she will get to it before I do. Anyways, the DS stands for Dual Screen and that's what it is. A dual-screen hand held gaming device that has a touchscreen for added game play value. It truly is a great gaming machine for young and old. Did I mention that the older folks are enjoying some of the games like New York Times Crosswords and Brain Age? So, remarkably the DS system appeals to all types of people. Do you have a DS? What do you think? What are your favorite games for the system? Have you played 'THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU'?
The DS is gonna have a huge week with two extremely high-profile releases that many people are looking forward to. Myself included.
This is the first Grand Theft Auto title available for the DS system and a remarkable first GTA for a Nintendo system. It's not watered down and has the firm MATURE rating just like all the other Grand Theft Auto games. It's going to be an interesting game to play on the DS system with the added ability of touchscreen controls. I was a fan of the GTA series on the PSP (Playstation Portable) and hope that the DS version is just as good or better. All signals point to amazing and I am extremely excited for the release on Tuesday, March 17th. Are you gonna get it? What are your thoughts?
Pokemon Platinum
Ever since the Pokemon games burst onto the scene with the original Gameboy, they have been hot titles. This one is more of the same and already has high pre-order numbers at Game On for a DS title. People are just excited as can be for this new release. It has a crazy release date of Sunday March 22nd, because Nintendo likes to screw up everybody's schedules. I have a feeling, a lot of people will be picking up this title Sunday and playing it most of the day. It's hard for me to describe or review a Pokemon game as I've never really liked them myself, but I am in the minority on this as they are the biggest selling games for the Gameboy and DS Systems. So, here's a description:
Following the vast popularity of Pok�mon Diamond and Pok�mon Pearl, Pok�mon Platinum is the newest in the core series of Pok�mon games. Pok�mon Platinum features a new story full of adventure, never-before-seen forms of powerful Pok�mon -- including the legendary Giratina's Origin Forme -- and the Distortion World, a mysterious new world that suddenly appears in the Sinnoh region. In addition, with Pok�mon Platinum up to 20 players can interact with other Pok�mon fans from around the world in the new Wi-Fi Plaza, featuring mini-games and activities. Players can also enjoy the new features in the Global Terminal, such as posting battle videos using the new "Vs. Recorder." In addition, Pok�mon Platinum features a new Battle Frontier, where the toughest Trainers can test their skills in new ways. Pok�mon Platinum already has broken previous Nintendo DS sales records in Japan, selling more than 1 million copies in its first two days of release.
See that? Already breaking records in Japan. I wish we could get the games released at the same time in the US, but Japan tends to get all the games early from Nintendo. Oh well - less than a week to wait now, so I'll quit complaining. I am excited about this release, because I am going to finally try a DS Pokemon game. I have tried the Gameboy advance versions, but never a DS version, so this Sunday, I'll be sitting at Game On playing Pokemon Platinum. Come on out and give me tips and pointers if your a seasoned veteran of the Pokemon titles.
Both games are released this week at Game On on their respective dates. Call 308-345-8888 for more information.
Showing comments in chronological order
[Show most recent comments first]
I don't think I'll be getting Platinum. I enjoy Pokemon, but I have a bunch of other games that I "need" to play first, so logging in another 100+ hours with a new Pokemon game would be horrendous. I'll totally play you sometime, though, since I believe the Ds games have an option to balance the levels on both teams, allowing people to more easily play together.
GTA has never been a series that I've liked, though I kinda hope it does well, if only so that other developers will take Nintendo systems more seriously. Also, this isn't the first Nintendo GTA- the original GTA was ported to the Game Boy Color, if memory serves.
Also, yes, people should definitely get The World Ends With You. The DS has an excellent and really varied library of games but this game stands out among the games enjoyed more by "traditional" gamers. It's also one of the games that takes the most advantage of the touch screen for regular gameplay.

Want to find out if RTC is closed due to inclement weather?
Information will be posted by 5:15am. Evening class decisions will
be posted by 3:15pm. Check any of the following places for the
latest news:
Rave Alert
Sign up for Rave Alert - Renton Technical College's emergency notification system
- for text messages sent to your mobile phone.
Call the college at 425-235-2352 and press 9 for the latest operating
The following stations are recommended and should have information
about Renton Technical College scrolling on the bottom of the screen:
Running closure information is a voluntary system
for radio stations. We recommend that you have a radio tuned into one of
the following stations, but not to rely on receiving information solely
from this source:
1. When will a decision be made to close the
If snow or ice develops overnight, a decision to close the College
will be announced before 5:30 a.m. If no announcement has been made by
then, you can expect the College to open on time.
During the school day, an announcement will be made when decision
makers determine that campus roads and parking lots or major highways
are or will soon be too dangerous for students and employees to drive
on. Decision makers expect drivers to be able to negotiate snowy
conditions, but decide to close because accumulations are building or
serious icing is taking place on and around the campuses. A decision to
close will be announced immediately once it has been made, and will be
communicated with as much notice as changing conditions permit.
2. Why doesn't the College close when snow
is forecast?
Renton Technical College sits at a weather transition point at which
forecasting is very difficult. Forecasters frequently hedge their bets
about the likelihood of bad weather, and when they don't, they are often
wrong. RTC closes when the weather emergency is at hand, and not before.
We believe class time is precious and we should cancel classes only when
it is necessary.
3. How do I find out that the College is
The various options are described at the top of this page for where you can check on RTC closure information:
Television | Internet |
Phone | Radio
4. How do I know my class will be held? Will
my instructor be there?
If an instructor cannot get to campus because of bad weather, he or
she must notify their respective dean. The instructor or the division
will try to contact students via e-mail, so keep an eye on
that. Instructors should give their students information in their
syllabi about inclement weather policies and procedures for their
classes. If not available in the syllabi ask your instructor.
5. If the local schools are closed, why
isn't the College?
Unlike public schools, Renton Technical College does not operate a
school bus system and uses different criteria to decide that it is
appropriate to close. RTC closes only when its own roads, parking lots,
the main highways, or the roads immediately around the campuses are too
dangerous to negotiate safely. Thus, RTC may be open when other
local schools are closed.
6. I take an RTC class at a local school.
How do I know when my class is cancelled?
If the College closes, classes at off-campus locations, such as local
schools, are also cancelled. If the College remains open but the local school
has closed, the RTC class is cancelled for that day.
7. Why were my classes cancelled when there
was practically no snow at all?
When the weather makes the main campus too dangerous to keep open,
RTC will closes all of its off campus locations, regardless of what the
conditions are at the other locations. We serve a large geographic area,
and it can be quite safe to drive in one place, but not in another.
Media announcements must be clear and precise. Making individual campus
announcements is likely to be confusing. In addition, students and staff
often must travel from one side of our service area to another to come
to campus, so bad roads in one region can keep people from getting to
other campuses safely.
8. What will happen if I do not attend class
because I decide it is too dangerous for me to come?
We realize that a general decision for the college cannot account for
the individual circumstances of all students. Use your good judgment and
be prompt in communicating your situation to your instructor.
9. May I bring my child with me to campus
when the schools are closed?
No. The College has no childcare facilities, and children are
often disruptive in the classroom or in the work place.

The Spurs' troika of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili entered Game 1 of the NBA Finals with 98 postseason wins as a group, second most by a trio in league history — behind Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Michael Cooper, who won 110 together with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Make it 99 after a splendid fourth quarter highlighted by suffocating Spurs defense and clutch late plays from Duncan, Parker and Danny Green.
Parker scored 10 of his 21 in the fourth quarter, including two big shots in the final 3:30.
Duncan faked Chris Bosh and drew a foul with 1:08 left, hitting two free throws to put the Spurs up four.
A minute later, Parker — despite fumbling the ball and falling down — gathered himself, turned around and lofted a 16-foot bank shot just one-tenth of a second before the shot clock expired, extending the Spurs' lead to four with 5.2 seconds left.
"I was trying to stay composed and get a shot off," Parker said.
Duncan (20 points, 14 rebounds) and Parker (who also had six assists and no turnovers) got help from Kawhi Leonard, who delivered 10 points and 10 rebounds and played stout defense on LeBron James; Danny Green, whose 12 points included a big fourth-quarter three, and Ginobili, who scored 13.
"Great to get the first game under our belts," Duncan said.
Most importantly, the Spurs held the Heat to 16 points in the fourth quarter on 5-for-18 shooting.
"We tried to pack the paint and make sure they take jump shots," Parker said.
The Spurs set an NBA Finals record for fewest turnovers (four), including none in the fourth quarter.
What was behind it? "I have no clue," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "We don't do no-turnover drills. I don't know what they are."
Duncan joined A.C. Green and John Salley as the only players in NBA history to make Finals appearances in three separate decades. But the first quarter was a big irritation for the player nicknamed The Big Fundamental.
Defended effectively and primarily by Udonis Haslem in the first quarter, Duncan opened 0 for 5 and headed to the bench with two fouls and 1:43 left in the quarter. This was only Duncan's second scoreless first quarter in 23 career Finals games.
Duncan didn't score his first basket until 7:46 left in second quarter. That score seemed to jump-start him, wiping off the early rust.
Duncan scored 12 in the second quarter, including a jumper just before the halftime buzzer, that left the Spurs down 52-49.
None of Duncan's first-half points came against Haslem, who sat the entire second quarter. Duncan did much of his damage against Andersen and Chris Bosh.
The Spurs had a number of defensive breakdowns in the first half, resulting in several open threes and easy baskets in transition.
But San Antonio tightened defensively in the second half. The Heat had 10 free-throw attempts in the first half but didn't go to the line again until 5:47 remained in the game.
What's more, after allowing nine fast-break points in the first half, the Spurs allowed none after intermission.
"We played an OK game," Ginobili said. "We didn't play great."
But it was enough.

The 'Wrong Side of the Tracks' in Copenhagen
With the affluence of our time, all over Europe, once-scuzzy neighborhoods on "the wrong side of the tracks" are becoming gentrified. (In fact, here in Copenhagen, the trendiest new area for dining and nightlife fun is the old Meatpacking District, just a couple of blocks behind the main train station.) Stepping into the station, I've long heard the martial melodies they play on loudspeakers at its back door without giving it a second thought. Then, with the help of a guide, I learned the reason for the regimented march beat. This video clip explains:
Having Fun in Copenhagen
Flying from Amsterdam to Copenhagen is like connecting sister cities — bikes, canals, lots of construction work, slick and extensive infrastructure, and people who really know how to have fun.
As I mentioned earlier, my two-month summer trip has five sections: Germany guidebook research, filming in the Netherlands, Scandinavia guidebook research, filming in Berlin and Prague, and finally guidebook research in Poland. I'm just kicking off part three and ready for some Scandinavian travel fun. Join me for the next two weeks as I offer my latest travel tips from in and around Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, and Bergen. First up: Copenhagen.
In cities like Copenhagen, I enjoy tuning into the little details of everyday life. For example, the pølse (hot dog) is fast, cheap, tasty, and — like its American cousin — almost worthless nutritionally. Even so, what the locals call the "dead man's finger" is the dog Danish kids love to bite. Danes gather at pølsevogne (sausage wagons) for munchies and pølsesnak — the local slang for empty chatter (literally, "sausage talk"). If you join them, you can study this institution — and maybe pick up on some societal insights, as well. Denmark's "cold feet cafés" are a form of social care: People who have difficulty finding jobs are licensed to run these wiener-mobiles. As they gain seniority, they are promoted to work at more central locations. Traditionally, after getting drunk, guys stop here for a hot dog and chocolate milk on the way home — that's why many of these stands stay open until the wee hours.
Wandering Copenhagen's harborfront, visitors are struck by the many young people out drinking in the streets. There's not more beer consumption here than in the US; it's just out in public. Many young Danes can't afford to drink in a bar (where the tax on serving booze is astronomical), so they "picnic drink" their beers in squares and along canals, spending a quarter of the bar price for a bottle from a nearby kiosk. In my guidebook's self-guided walk of Copenhagen, I encourage my travelers to drop by Nagib's kiosk (a block from the popular wharf at Nyhavn) and grab a cold $2 beer to join in the scene. It was fun meeting Nagib, as for years, he's had a steady stream of Americans dropping by to buy a beer…as dictated by some mysterious guidebook writer.
Appreciating local culture extends to sightseeing, as well. When you're traveling, don't just seek out the Van Goghs in Sweden, the Rembrandts in Scotland, or the Titians in Spain. Instead, open up to the local artists. In Norway, check out Munch. In Vienna, go for Klimt. And in Prague, give Mucha a look. All over Copenhagen, you'll see the swoon-worthy art of the great Danish Neoclassical sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. This local Canova's work is in the cathedral, in the palace, and packing a museum dedicated entirely to his statues right next to the palace. Do you have a favorite underrated national artist that we should keep on our list when in that artist's homeland?
Copenhagen is a city of lovely spires and public spaces. As in many towns, once-formidable fortified walls and moat systems have morphed into peaceful, lake-filled parks. In the maps of these cities, you can see the "star fort" shapes centuries after the last cannon was retired. Copenhagen does a particularly good job of utilizing land formerly spent on defense to make the city a wonderful place to live. Wandering through these parks, you can understand why Danes usually top the list of the world's most content societies.
Escaping Amsterdam with an Idyllic Countryside Canal Canoe Trip
I've recommended Majel Tromp's Wetlands Safari tours in my guidebook for over a decade. And I filmed a segment with Majel years ago, when 60 Minutes did a feature on my work. It was so beautiful, I wanted to get the experience into one of our travel shows. And on this trip, it worked out perfectly.
For a little break from the Amsterdam scene, we headed into the polderland just half an hour north of the city for a canoe ride. Gliding along the canals, where the homes face the water and everyone has their own little boat, was a delight.
When we finished filming the canoe ride, Majel surprised us with a grand picnic dinner on a remote island. After putting away the dishes, we turned her tablecloth tarp into a big bedspread and took a scenic nap. I truly savored the moment, knowing that we had two great shows — one on the Netherlands and one on the great city of Amsterdam — in the can. They'll be seen all over the USA this fall.
Dutch Dikes: Keeping the Netherlands Dry for 700 Years
While dikes are a Dutch cliché (right up there with tulips and wooden shoes), they're also an essential part of the Netherlands' history and contemporary life. Roughly half of the land and half of the people here in the Netherlands are below sea level. And our new television show about the Netherlands includes a segment on these marvels of Dutch engineering.
The Netherlands is bounded by the North Sea. Where there are no natural dunes to keep the sea out, the Dutch have built mighty barriers, or dikes, to protect their farms and communities. For 700 years, the Dutch have been developing their skills at keeping this country dry. It's a constant battle. And with climate change and rising sea levels now a reality, the work is that much harder and more expensive.
Each of our shows begins with a goofy little bit (called a "tease") where I say a something about the destination, then reveal the location in a fun way. For our Netherlands show tease, I stood on a chair and said, "Hi, I'm Rick Steves, back with more of the best of Europe. The people here claim if you stand on a chair, you can see all across their country. We're exploring the best of the Netherlands. Thanks for joining us."
I was so happy with what we shot. Then, as we were driving away, I realized it would have been stronger if I added "this country is so small and so flat, they say if you stand on a chair…" But it was still a fun bit.
When it came time to stand on the chair and say my line, Rolinka drove into the neighboring farm hamlet and had no trouble finding us the perfect chair for our needs. In fact, the friendly farmer brought two chairs so that we'd have a choice.
My line about standing on a chair to see all the way across the Netherlands is a joke. But from way up here, you really can see for miles.
Modern dikes work hard — as they have for centuries — to preserve drained and reclaimed Dutch land.
Even with an impressive dike already in place, the Dutch are moving mountains of sand and mud to fortify their dikes and protect the next generation. Famous for both their frugality and their foresight, the Dutch are investing billions of euros as climate change makes its costly impact felt on sea-level communities here and around the globe.
Sailing the IJsselmeer
We're sailing to the fishing village of Marken in a hundred-year-old fishing boat. A few of these venerable boats survive. This one earns its keep by hiring out to visitors…and, in the case of this motley crew, putting them to work.
The Netherlands Big and Small: Rotterdam and Marken
For our new Netherlands TV show, we're going big and we're going small — from minuscule Marken to muscular Rotterdam. In this country of contrasts, century-old boats, glassy skyscrapers, and public urinals all have their place.
Two of the cutest and most touristy towns in the Netherlands are Volendam and Marken (both about half an hour north of Amsterdam, and popular day-trip destinations for bus tours). While I can't handle the big-bus mass tourism of Volendam, I love cute little Marken.
During my scouting trip this spring, I met a club of men who love to sail their hundred-year-old fishing boats on the inland sea — so we arranged for them to sail us from Volendam to Marken. It was great filming and great fun. Our boat, from 1905, was filled with heritage. Our friends explained how their vessel has no built-in keel (as you'd expect on a typical sailboat) because the waters here are too shallow. Instead, it has a side keel, which can be dropped and hoisted by rope and lashed into place as needed. Originally, the boat was run by a skeleton crew of two: a captain and a boy. They'd go out for five days of fishing…then come home on Sunday to go to church.
There was what looked like a historic old saying painting on to the boat's galley door (which I'm sure countless tourists had photographed because it looks salty and rustic). But it actually says, "If you want to be poor, use this boat for fishing. If you want to be wealthy, use it for tourism." Classic Dutch humor and candor.
When doing a TV show on the Netherlands, it's a temptation to make everything seem all cute and sweet — like Marken. After all, I finish the script by saying, "Traveling here, sooner or later, you'll find yourself exclaiming, 'Everything's just so… Dutch!'" But the country has long been a mighty trading power, and no show on the Netherlands would be complete without the huge, no-nonsense port of Rotterdam.
Mighty Rotterdam has a gleaming skyline and Europe's largest port. It's a reminder of the Dutch knack for international trade. Locals say that while the money is spent in Amsterdam…it's made here in Rotterdam. They boast that shirts in Rotterdam are sold with the sleeves already rolled up.
Rotterdam's harbor is the third-largest in the world. The port handles 35,000 ocean-going vessels each year — that's almost a hundred ships a day. While most of these ships sail the open seas, this is where the Rhine River meets the ocean. And from here, riverboats — filled with either tourists or cargo — can go all the way through Europe to the Black Sea.
Speaking of big cities, in my 3,200-word Amsterdam script, I wanted to bring up the theme of toleration. My challenge: to artfully weave together marijuana, prostitutes, pilgrims stopping by on their way to Plymouth Rock, hidden Catholic churches, the Holocaust, Anne Frank, and the Dutch Resistance. I wanted to be challenging, but without abusing my bully pulpit. It was a fun writing challenge, and I think it worked. I started the section of the show with this "on-camera," zoomed in close to my face: "Every corner of Europe comes with a unique flavor and cultural surprises. Small-is-beautiful Holland feels quintessentially European. It's charming. It's progressive…" — then, stepping out from behind a public urinal on the street as the camera zoomed out — "…and, with the local passion for tolerance, it's occasionally shocking. Prepare for some differences: curbside urinals. Prostitutes who are unionized, taxed, and regulated. And coffeeshops that sell marijuana."
Rotterdam was bombed flat in World War II. But rather than rebuilt quaint (as most Dutch towns did), Rotterdammers embraced the chance to go in another direction: bold modernity.
You can appreciate the immensity of Rotterdam's mighty port with a harbor tour, which we filmed for our show. While it was OK, the similar harbor tour in Hamburg is far more impressive. What are your favorite harbor experiences in Europe?
We hitched a ride on this traditional Waterland sailboat from Volendam to Marken.
Amsterdam's public urinals are kept very clean — and ready for American film crews to incorporate into their scripts.
Filming Great Art in Amsterdam
One of the great joys of producing our TV series is the chance to be all alone in Europe's greatest museums when they're closed (usually early in the morning). In Amsterdam, we were in both the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum from around 8 a.m. until 10 a.m., when they open to the public.
While we have the place to ourselves, the clock is ticking — we generally have about 90 minutes before the public pours in. An escort from the museum sticks with us every minute, making sure we stay within our permitted bounds. The cameraman shoots the art every which way to cover the script. It's wonderful to have the privacy with the art to get the fine work done, and then have a few minutes with the public to get wide shots that show these temples of art filled with the faithful.
Invariably, I don't know exactly what I'll be saying on camera until I'm there and we survey what we're about to shoot. Then I scramble to write and memorize my lines. Writing all alone in front of Rembrandt's fabled Night Watch was a treat. Here's the bit I just wrote — first off camera (because it's easy to "cover" the content by showing details from the painting), then on camera (for material that's harder to illustrate, so it makes more sense for me to say it directly to the camera):
[28] In Rembrandt's Night Watch, we see another group portrait. But rather than the standard stiff pose, this one bursts with energy. It's the local militia, which was also a fraternity of business bigwigs — a kind of Rotary Club of the 17th century. They tumble out of their hall, weapons drawn, ready to defend the city. While it's creative and groundbreaking in its composition, some of those who paid the artist — like this guy — were probably none too pleased.
[27, on camera] This art is really all about money. The Dutch worked hard and were brilliant traders, and the wealthy had plenty of money…to match their egos. Here, artists earned their living not working for the Church or a king, but by painting portraits for local big shots.
Sitting all alone in front of a great work — like Rembrandt's Night Watch — the words come easy to this travel writer.
This is the typical scene when filming in a great art museum. Our lighting floods old paintings with brightness, making colors and details pop like even local guides and museum art historians have never seen. But I'm always on pins and needles that someone will come and say "no lights." When necessary, Simon holds a big piece of black cloth up to stop any glare — especially important when glass covers a canvas.
In Wheat Field with Crows, one of Vincent van Gogh's last works, the canvas is a wall of thick paint, with roads leading nowhere and ominous black crows taking flight. Overwhelmed with life, Vincent walked into a field like this one… and shot himself.
Most guides and guidebooks love to perpetuate the idea that Wheat Field with Crows was Van Gogh's final work. It just fits with the story of his suicide. But art historians now believe that this painting, Roots, was Vincent's last work.
Aalsmeer Flower Auction
One of the joys of our TV production is that I get to actually visit the places and do the things that I recommend in my guidebooks. For instance, on the second morning of filming our Netherlands TV show, we got up at 6 a.m. to catch the Aalsmeer Flower Auction at its busiest.
A hundred buyers click their computers as trainloads of flowers roll through the auction hall. Just outside, a keystone-cops commotion of delivery cars makes sure all the flowers get to their locations that same day — anywhere in Europe. Our cameraman, Peter, got to take a ride on one of these carts to film the point-of-view of a load of flowers.
Filming Rick Steves' Europe in the Netherlands
I'm excited that we are embarking on a 12-day shoot to produce two shows in the Netherlands.
Ten years ago, we made one episode combining Amsterdam with side trips into the Dutch countryside. In this shoot, we'll retire the old show and replace it with two episodes: one just for Amsterdam and the other just for the Dutch countryside. This will let us share double fun in Holland.
For example, doing two shows instead of one makes room for Haarlem, a charming small town a quick train ride from Amsterdam. We enjoyed filming an organ concert in Haarlem's church. I only get 3,200 words per script, so each word needs to earn its place. Here's that part of the script—5 sequences out of 70 in this half-hour episode (OC means "on camera" — a part I say to the camera):
[38] Haarlem's Grote Kerk, or Great Church, towers over the market square as if to bless all the business that takes place below.
[39] Inside, you find a towering Gothic nave, which was whitewashed and purged of its Catholic ornamentation when the Reformation arrived in 1566. Small frescoed sections, revealed when the whitewash was cleaned off, show how the entire church was originally decorated. Ships hanging in the nave remind parishioners to pray for all the men at sea. If you know where to look, carvings can be whimsical: crazy little characters supporting the roof…and what were called "pillar biters" mocking people who were overly devout.
[40 OC] And as was the case in many Protestant countries, rather than huge preachy works of visual art — like frescos and statues promoting the message of the Church — the artistic emphasis was put on music.
[41] Protestant churches invested in mighty pipe organs. Haarlem's towering organ has been giving worship an inspirational soundtrack since 1738.
[42 beauty sequence of Jos van der Kooy playing Cornelis J. Bute Gavotte I & II] And visitors can enjoy free concerts weekly. [Fade to black]
Our core filming crew, as always, is three of us: me, the producer (Simon), and our cameraman (either Peter — pictured here — or Karel). Lately, I've enjoyed adding a local expert to be sure we're communicating clearly and to smooth the way behind the scenes. My friend Rolinka Bloeming, who has led tours for us for nearly 20 years, had to be rescheduled from one of her Rick Steves tours so she could be our "fixer." Rolinka speaks Dutch, knows her country expertly, has a way of opening doors, and is a delight to work with. She'll be on her iPad and on her phone making sure we know where the windmills are turning and where herring's in the smoker.
In Haarlem's Great Church, we climbed up into the organ loft and filmed the organist playing the most spectacular pipe organ I've ever seen. I got to simply sit with the audience and enjoy the concert while my crew filmed a beautiful segment.
When filming, we have to be super-organized to get what we need in the time we have. When the crew was in the loft with the organist, I was surveying the church like a little mouse, making a list of things to shoot to "cover the script." Then I took Simon on a quick walk to show him my shot list. With the crew organized and at work, I got to sit down and enjoy the rest of the concert.
We settled down for four nights in the cute-as-a-bunny town of Edam. Our home base, Hotel Fortuna, is nestled on a canal in a garden kind of world. (It made me nostalgic for a family visit here 25 years ago, when toddler Andy was enthralled by the box turtles in the hotel garden.) My room opened up onto a quiet perch over the canal, where I would go out after filming in the 11 p.m. twilight and just be still with the water and the birds. Across the way was in industrial dry dock…yet even that was cute. Here, I snuck a photo of producer Simon reviewing our latest script immersed in Dutch beauty.
My Freshest Tips for Smooth Rail Travel
So far on this trip, I've really enjoyed using trains to get around Germany and the Netherlands — they make travel fast, smooth, and efficient. Here are a few photos to illustrate strategies for smart rail travel anywhere in Europe.
The new generation of bullet trains in Europe are sleek. In fact, they're so sleek that when a city has an old-fashioned, dead-end train station, the new trains often don't even bother to stop in the city itself, but at a pass-through suburban station instead. New stations are designed — at the insistence of the train companies — to be pass-through stations. Everything's going very fast these days, and there's just no time to pull in, then back out.
No smoking, no talking, no cellphones. You have your choice of train cars — all clearly marked (although none allows smoking anymore). Among Europeans, American tourists are notorious for talking like they're the only people on the planet, making everyone else on the car listen to their conversation. And you know how annoying it is to listen to someone else's drawn-out cellphone conversation. Enjoy making a point to take advantage of signs as you travel: If you want peace and quiet, you'll get it in this car.
Trains are long, it's hot over here, and luggage can be exhausting to schlepp around needlessly — especially if the train platform is mobbed with travelers. Notice and understand signs to save time and stress. Few Americans realize that on big-city train platforms, there's a chart listing major trains, with a diagram of how each train is arranged: first class (yellow), second class (green), and dining car (red). It even shows specific car numbers — handy if you have a seat reservation. Overheard on the platform are big A, B, C, and other lettered signs to help you find just which zone to stand in to have your train car stop right in front of you. Very often, a long train has ten second-class cars, but just one first-class car. If you have a first-class Eurail pass (as nearly any railpass holder over 26 does) and you don't notice signs like these, you could wander all the way to the far end of the platform, then realize that you could have just waited at the opposite end. The conductor just blew the whistle, and you need to jump on the train or be left behind. So you spend the next 15 minutes struggling through the crowds to get to your first-class compartment…not very first-class.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego City Council voted 6-1 Monday night to approve a $45.3 million plan to remove vehicles from the center of Balboa Park following a lengthy showdown between its supporters and opponents.
The vote came after the council heard about 140 speakers both for and against the plan funded to this point by Irwin Jacobs, a co-founder of the semiconductor firm Qualcomm, and pushed by Mayor Jerry Sanders, who called it a once in a lifetime opportunity.
"We have to plan for the future," said Council President Pro Tem Kevin Faulconer. "Because if we get into a situation where we don't do that, we're shirking our responsibility to our children and future generations of San Diegans."
Jacobs said the project would fully achieve the required goal of removing cars from the plazas, accommodating visitors to the institutions and add more than 6.3 acres of car-free parkland.
Councilman Todd Gloria said the plan's benefits outweighed it's costs.
"It does achieve a number of things that are important, specifically, eliminating what I think is a scar down the middle of the heart of Balboa Park, mainly the road and the parking lots in the Plaza de Panama," Gloria said. "It takes an asphalt parking lot and turns it into a public park, which is what it should be."
Preservationists have no problem with the idea of making the Plaza de Panama and Plaza de California pedestrian-friendly.
However, they strongly oppose some of the details, including construction of a 405-foot bypass bridge to carry traffic around the center of the park, and building a 797-space underground parking garage in which drivers would have to pay $5 to stash their vehicle for five hours.
Councilwoman Sherri Lightner cast the dissenting vote, stating she opposed paid parking and the bypass bridge was intrusive and expensive.
"We all want to transform the heart of Balboa Park into a pedestrian friendly plaza. It's the how that has divided us," Lightner said.
Some opponents believe the so-called Centennial Bridge, near the western entrance to the park, will be an eyesore and destroy the historical significance of the area.
"We're going to take one of the most magnificent journeys that we have and offer visitors, and we're going to turn it into one of the worst possible journeys," said Bruce Coons, executive director of the Save Our Heritage Organisation.
Jacobs said the Centennial Bridge would allow the restoration of the Plaza de California to its historic appearance.
"The Centennial Bridge does impact the view of the side of the Museum of Man, but it is a view that is mostly hidden for the last 95 years due to the presence of a historic eucalyptus grove," Jacobs said.
Opponents also believe the parking structure is financially risky because drivers will probably seek out free parking elsewhere. Their argument was bolstered by a report issued Friday by the city's Independent Budget Analyst, which said financial projections might not materialize.
Supporters reject these contentions and hope to have the improvements in place in time for celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Balboa Park in 2015. A nonprofit group is attempting to raise about $31 million to pay for the project, while the city would contribute an additional $14 million with a bond to pay for the parking structure.
Rep. Bob Filner, D-San Diego, who is running against Councilman Carl DeMaio to be the city's next mayor, said any delays could cause the park's centennial celebration to be marked with a hole behind the Spreckels Pavillion.
"Let's not destroy the historical integrity of Balboa Park under a promise that somehow something's going to happen before the centennial," Filner said.

You can still get around the 7 bracketed exposures. Not sure what the big deal about doing that is - quite simple. Put the unit in 7 bracket mode as mentioned above. Go to Exposure Comp./AEB setting and choose how you want the 7 laid out. Ex. all in 2/3 EC stops starting from 0 backward (Move M-Fn wheel until the layout is as you want it - in this case -4 would be the last one and 0 the first). Make sure camera is on tripod with release cable (best). Take the 7 shots. Go back and move the M-fn wheel so that +4 is the last one with the same 2/3 EC spread. Follow same procedure. Boom - done. Now you have 14 bracketed shots with two overlapped on 0. Simple.
That's great, but it's not only about the number of images, it's about the total dynamic range you can capture. From what you describe, you're getting a +/- 4 EV range. It should be possible to get, for example, a +/- 10 EV range. It doesn't have to meter to -10 EV; it just has to meter the scene normally and subtract 10 stops and increment from there.
Honestly, since you can do this exact procedure by hand, I think the simple (and obvious) solution is to get a solid tripod (which you should already have for landscapes), meter the scene and then slide the shutter speed as far down as possible and start manual shooting with faster shutter speeds. That's all they would have to do in firmware, so it's confusing why they always choose to limit AEB to +/- 3 or 4 EV.

UPDATE: Chelsea 1-0 FC Barcelona, Final Score
For 45 minutes and a minute of stoppage time, Chelsea were dominated by Barcelona. The Blaugranas had chance after chance and more than 75 percent of possession. However, there seemed to be a plan in place, as Chelsea defended well for a lot of the half and looked to break on the counter over and over again. They were caught offside five times, but finally burned Barca on their last counter of the half. They lead by a score of 1-0 at halftime, thanks to Didier Drogba
Barcelona's first big chance of the afternoon came in the 9th minute, via Alexis Sanchez. Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta set up the chance with a great exchange that ended with a ball over the top of the defense by Iniesta. Sanchez latched onto it and attempted to chip Petr Cech, but hit the crossbar and the Chelsea defense cleared away.
A minute later, Gary Cahill had a chance for Chelsea on a long throw by Branislav Ivanovic, but put his effort just wide. This would be only one of two Chelsea chances in the half, as Barcelona controlled possession.
The Blaugranas' best chance game in the 17th minute, when they had multiple opportunities. Lionel Messi started the move with a dribbling move through traffic before laying off to Adriano, who set up Iniesta for a shot on target. Cech saved, but could only parry the ball into the patch of Cesc Fabregas. He should have been able to score, but put his shot embarrassingly wide.
Barcelona had a short spell where they took apart the Chelsea defense at every opportunity. Iniesta skinned Cahill at the endline in the 25th minute, but Cahill won the ball back with a hard shoulder challenge. Fabregas had a shot on target saved in the 27th minute, which was followed up by a Messi header on target just one minute later. At that point, Chelsea's defense seemed to wake up and started to look much more organized. John Terry also gave Puyol an ouchie.
In the 43rd minute, Chelsea almost gave Barcelona a massive gift. John Obi Mikel inexplicably gave the ball away deep in midfield, giving their opponents a chance to build a quick counter. Messi played a fantastic through ball to Fabregas, who chipped Cech, but Cole ran back quickly and made a fantastic clearance off the line to preserve his side's clean sheet.
A 0-0 halftime score looked like a near certainty until Chelsea scored on a lightning quick counter attack with the last move of the half. Incredibly, the chance started when Messi gave the ball away. Lampard started the attack with a great ball to Ramires, who created space for himself with his blazing speed. He laid a perfect ball across the box to the far post for Drogba, who applied the simple finish.
It goes without saying that this goal was an absolute game changer. Barcelona were completely in control, Messi looked like the best player on the pitch and Drogba looked a bit off the pace for the entire half. In one 15-second sequence, all of that became irrelevant. Chelsea leads 1-0, and it's anyone's guess what adjustments the two managers make at halftime.
We'll have continuous pre-game updates and live game coverage in our Chelsea vs. Barcelona, UEFA Champions League Semifinals StoryStream. For more on the two teams, head over to Chelsea FC blog We Ain't Got No History and FC Barcelona blog Barca Blaugranes.

I have seen in dicussions here that Nokia VOIP client should not register over edge. I do not know what I am doing wrong, but it registers on my e63 without problems, yet (alas) can not accept or make SIP calls, it only registers with the server, and shows in status the icon as if it is connected (checked on the server - it really is)
Now, the problem is, when I am in place without 3G coverage, the phone thus registers over edge, and when the server tries to send incoming call, it fails to do it. The call is missed. Is there any way for me to disable registrations in edge newtworks? (it is strange for voip client to register over such edge connection it knows exactly it would not be able to use... but somehow it happens...)
Switching from dual mode to 3G network only mode in phone settings will no do, because in this case I will turn off voice call as well (and the whole idea is - when sip client is not registered, voip server forwards calls to the cell phone, which whole idea is prevented with these fake registrations over edge I am having with my Nokia e63). Cell provider says there is no way do disable gprs or edge only separately from 3g, so I am really stuck with the problem...
Hope I have made it clear.

I host a morning radio show so I need to be up around 4:00 AM and I need to be awake by the time I hit the airwaves at 5:30 AM. I'm a bit of night owl, though, and sometimes stay up later than I should to spend time with my wife or play video games. I like to drink coffee but if I don't prep my coffee maker the night before, I'm not having coffee in the morning. Plus I can't just down two cups of coffee without scalding my tongue and throat. I'm not thirsty enough, nor do I have the stomach to consume a 16 oz. energy drink. All the sugar makes my stomach upset, and some energy drinks make my chest hurt. About a year ago a friend at work introduced me to 5-Hour Energy. I was skeptical at first but it worked great. I now keep 5-Hour Energy in my desk as back up. So now if I get up and am dead tired I grab a 5-Hour Energy, do my morning show, then go about programming the radio station. Then when I'm done with work I still have energy to go to the gym, pick up my brother's kids from school and still be awake by the time my wife gets home. 5-Hour Energy taste good and is easy on my stomach. The fact that it only has four calories is major plus. Thanks for keeping me awake 5-Hour Energy!

More than a dozen dead ducks found near ponds at a Las Vegas park prompted officials to restrict access to the water Friday.
According to a statement, the carcases of 15 ducks were found in and around the ponds at Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs at 9200 Tule Springs Rd.
Officials said they access to the ponds in the park is restricted while tests are being conducted to determine if something in the water caused the deaths.
Other waterfowl at the park seem to be healthy, officials said. They said the restriction is in place as a precaution.
The ponds are popular for fishing and a destination for parents to take their kids.
"I was out here today and I noticed that there were signs up there saying no fishing. I wanted to come down and see what was going on," said park visitor Jeffrey Williams.
Williams is a regular fisher at the park, visiting at least twice a month.
Julie Reynolds takes her kids to the park when the weather is nice. They like to feed the ducks in their natural habitat.
"We saw a couple of signs that said no fishing, they're testing the water, and I noticed there weren't many ducks in the water," she said.
The city of Las Vegas said it could be two weeks before they discover what killed the ducks.
"This is such a beautiful wildlife area you just hope there's nothing wrong," said Reynolds.
FOX5 spoke with state veterinarian Peregrine Wolff. She said her initial suspicion is that avian botulism could be responsible for the ducks dying.
She said that can happen when temperatures rise, creating a breeding ground for bacteria. She added that it is not a threat to people.

UT Tyler held its first ever live active shooter drill Monday, hoping to improve school security in the case of a real emergency.
The training comes just three days after yet another deadly school shooting at a Colorado high school. UT Tyler officials said Monday's event was planned more than six months ago, but is designed to teach local authorities how to respond to an incident similar to that one if it were to happen on their campus.
The drill centered around one man, searching the UT Tyler campus for his daughter as part of a custody battle. The campus was already on lock down, as authorities believed he was in the area after shooting his ex-wife and killing her boyfriend.
Once on campus, the drill simulates the man first taking a university employee hostage, before letting her go and gaining access to a building. One shot is then heard inside the building, as the man shoots a campus officer already inside. Campus police follow by swarming the building, attempting to capture the suspect.
It's the first scenario of its kind played out on campus, following a string of deadly school shootings on other campuses in just the last year.
"It only takes one incident to change our perspective on the world," said UT Tyler Vice President of Student Affairs Howard Patterson. "We want to make sure we're as ready as possible for as many scenarios as possible."
Students on campus said they believe the training couldn't come soon enough.
"Seeing as so many things have happened just in the last couple of weeks, I can see why they're trying to step it up to make the parents and students feel more safe," said junior Tynika Adams.
"It's always a good idea to be preventative," freshman Anna Wood said. "That makes me feel very good to go here."
Senior Loren Lirely believes it's just another move by the school that continues to improve student safety at the university.
"We've had problems in the area the past couple of years," Lirely said. "But it's definitely shored up and I think a lot of people are reassured by the improvements."
But junior Kenzie Masterson believes students and teachers should also be involved in training for similar scenarios.
"It does take [law enforcement] a little bit of time to get here," Masterson said. "I know that they get here as fast as they can, but we're here now."
In September, a new Texas law did begin allowing students to have licensed guns on campus, but only if they are kept locked up in a trunk or glove compartment. Individual colleges can also choose whether or not they allow students to carry weapons on other parts of campus, but that is not an option at UT Tyler.
University officials said they will review the results of the drill internally to correct and improve response in the event of a real emergency.
