- Hidden gemOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/22/2014Place Pigalle is a hidden treasure within the otherwise touristy Pike Place Market. With its small intimate interior, it's best to have a reservation on a Saturday night. The entire staff is efficient, professional, friendly and seem to be happy to be there. We happened to arrive an hour early for our reservation. The maitre d quickly made arrangements so that we could be seated in <25 minutes and at the best table in the house at that. The 25 minutes spent at the bar were delightful, given the bartender's good humor and genuine interest in connecting with his patrons. Needless to say the food was great. When you want to splurge a little on a great eating experience, you can't go wrong at Place Pigalle.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special PlaceBigAlDined on 11/22/2014I have been to Place Pigalle several times and love the location and quaintness of the place. The calamari app was excellent and everybody at my table ordered the scallops but me - I ordered the pork chop at the server's recommendation. Poor choice on my part. The meat was very tough. Not overcooked, but just a tough piece of meat. The hot chili sauce on the pork chop was good but not great. Too much heat and not enough overall flavor. It wasn't too spicy for me. I like spicy - but not just heat. Everybody loved their scallops though and it was a very nice dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very nice findGreatDined on 11/11/2014I took my daughter to Place Pigalle this week to celebrate her birthday. The food was quite good, and the wine list had a good selection to match the menu choices. The views of the Puget Sound were an added bonus. Finally, the service was very good and the staff very knowledgeable. Overall, a very good dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, great service.ChromeDined on 11/8/2014Try to get a table by the window for the view, but either way the food is delicious. For the same great food but less noise enjoy Place Pigalle for lunch!Special Features:
- Place Pigalle shinesabzolutDined on 11/7/2014A hidden gem in Pike Place Market. The food was amazing -- from cocktails to dessert, everything was perfect. The service was top tier. You should know: Gluten free dining was not a problem. Reservations recommended - be sure you have a confirmation if you use OpenTable. No kids' menu. Noise level was fairly high. You might find free parking on Pike Place, depending on the hour.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dinner placeItalianFoodieVIPDined on 10/29/2014Place Pigalle is an excellent place to take a date, have a small gathering of friends, or just go to dinner. I've eaten here many times and I'm always pleased I made that choice. The menu is small and simple--more Northwest than French. They say it's French-influenced. The seafood, especially the fish, is always fresh and prepared simply, allowing the natural favors to rule. Service is always impeccable and the (reserve) wine list is great. The room is small, but warm and comfortable. With all that, what's not to like?I would recommend this to a friend.
- goodfoodnfriendsDined on 10/29/2014My husband and I grabbed a last minute late lunch as part of Seattle Restaurant week. Place Pigalle was a restaurant we had talked about but had not been to. It was a wonderful treat, amazing food, lovely sunny fall day and great waiter. I had the clams in curry sauce which were wonderful and subtle in all the flavors. My husband, who dearly loves duck, had the duck confit-- the last one of the lunch time-- he was ecstatic. We topped it off by splitting the amazingly rich chocolate pot de cream. Great place for a romantic celebration with amazing food and service!Special Features:
- Lovely View, Lovely FoodFrancophileDined on 10/23/2014We've been here for Feast at the Market, but this is the first time for a meal. Place Pigalle is quite lovely. We enjoyed our evening.Special Features:
- jdeeVIPDined on 10/23/2014A limited menu but with some very nice, very French- inspired light lunch things. Our portabello tortas were very well prepared. The warmth and courtesy of the maître d' would be hard to match anywhere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great French RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 10/23/2014Food is great only eclipsed by service. We have been to the restaurant 4 times now, and tried different menu items and they are all are great. Service is outstanding. The staff is attentive and nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Gem of the MarketWestTXGalDined on 10/21/2014We arrived early and were greeted so warmly - I was made to feel we were the most special guest dining and it was restaurant week! The food was absolutely delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food1234567890Dined on 10/20/2014Service and food was excellent. View of sound and wheel an additional treat. We'd go back again if in the area of Pike's Market.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First Time VisitRestaurantfansDined on 10/18/2014My wife and I had dinner at Place Pigalle this past weekend, based largely on the recommendations we had read on Open Table. Not only were we absolutely not disappointed - we were thoroughly thrilled and had a wonderful meal of spectacularly fresh seafood that we enjoyed with a delicious bottle of very moderately priced French chardonnay. The service was excellent, the staff friendly and the view from our table by the window only added to the experience. We will definitely be going back!Special Features:
- Mussel ManiaGauntessVIPDined on 10/16/2014I simply MUST order the mussels every time I dine here because they are my most favorite version ANYWHERE I have eaten in the world. The fabulous broth left behind causes a bread basket restocking every visit. Beet salad is also on my usual dining list. This time we also ordered the oysters and the crab cakes and despite our many visits to this gem in the past, we continue to be amazed by the quality. I also could not manage to leave with out the Chocolate Pot de Creme, although usually I have no difficulty leaving before dessert in other restaurants. This was a special occasion lunch and it is our go to place for such celebrations as an oasis of gastronomy among the plethora of great restaurants in the Market.Special Features:
- ExcellentAnneVIPDined on 10/11/2014Had not been to Place Pigalle for decades. We will not let that happen again. Food and service were excellent!Special Features:
- Wonderful evening at Place PigalledowntownVIPDined on 10/8/2014In my experience, it is not often that a table of four can enjoy cocktails, appetizers, entrees and wine and honestly say that everything brought to the table was outstanding. Especially notable were the halibut, green curry clams and onion soup--all perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisapointedelsiemahlerDined on 10/4/2014We've eaten here three other times in the last three years. Last night we were really disappointed. Bills Bouillabase (sp) was watery and flavorless and the whole Dungeness crab i'd ordered was very over-cooked. Boo hoo, we won't be returning. We love the ambiance but for 300 bucks we expect to be happy with our dinners.
- Great Food with a ViewJustTwoDined on 10/4/2014Quiet and romantic! Really enjoyed the warm beet salad.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Seafood cooked very wellOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/4/2014We had Bouillabaisse, Rabbit and Calamari. All cooked excellently. Service was attentive without being obtrusive. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ArtayVIPDined on 10/3/2014Intimate and special place in Pike Market. Halibut was perfectly prepared, service was exceptional, and the view was fantastic. Cozy bar and bar tender were a nice touch also.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great bistro (with a view).mikeymusicVIPDined on 9/30/2014This was the highlight of our recent Seattle trip. Nestled in the Pike Place Market, this little gem will be on our Seattle to-go list from now on. Seated at the bar, awaiting a window table to be freed, we had a glass of wine and chatted with the bartender. It was very relaxing and deeply personal. The maitre d' kept us updated on "our" table and offered us a choice of two beautiful view tables. Not a huge menu but wide ranging and interesting. We were hard pressed to choose only one of the available entrees each but we did and sampled each others choices. Spectacular! If I had not made reservations for our next two nights, I'd go back again and again.Special Features:
- Quintessential Seattle GemfoodiecatDined on 9/27/2014For wonderful French-style delicacies and a stunning view of the Seattle waterfront, Place Pigalle can't be beat. Located in Pike Street Market in downtown Seattle, this gem is small, intimate, and very special. We took our out-of-town guests here. Aside from the oysters which were a bit too briny for our tastes, we were all thrilled with the food. The mussels seasoned with bacon were particularly divine! We were also delighted with the spectacular view, ambiance, and excellent wait staff. Very recommended!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gem at Pike Place MarketprchrmomDined on 9/24/2014After the beautiful chaos of Pike Place Market, Place Pigalle is a little oasis of foodie heaven with a specatular view. Food was creative, fresh and beautifully presented. Our meal was well-paced. Recommended to us by local friends.Special Features:
- A perfect findOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/22/2014Couldn't be a more charming restaurant anywhere. Small and intimate. The clams were amazing. I had never seen them served that way in a thick sauce that included small chunks of bacon. Great service, friendly and always there at the right moment. The roasted beet salad was warm and the lemon-dijon vinagrette delicious along with a slice of goat cheese wrapped in walnuts. I knew I couldn't eat all that and an entree, so had their amazing onion soup for an entree. But couldn't resist their creme brulee which was creamy and perfectly toasted. You can't go wrong here.Special Features:
- Loved this place!OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 9/21/2014Really great food, don't miss anything with their house made sausage with lavender, amazing. Great view, make sure to ask for a window table if you are there during sunset.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A Seattle GemKimmersDined on 9/8/2014If you are looking for a bistro with excellent service and food, this is it. We had a table overlooking the water and it was a perfect experience.Special Features:
- Always consistent quality and valueJeanneVIPDined on 9/7/2014Place Pigalle is my "go to" place, when I want to have a long leisurely lunch with a friend, followed by a stroll through the Pikes Place Market to pick up flowers and produce. It's also great for a cozy romantic dinner or just dinner with a friend if a romantic partner isn't available. Meals feature fresh produce as well as fish from the markets next door and some of the dishes cry out for repetition -- ie, it's hard to skip the mussels as an appetizer because I believe they are the best preparation in the city. That said, however, soups, salads (I love the beet) are all great. This past weekend, they featured a halibut special with roasted vegetables which was wonderful. I'll no doubt be back in a couple of weeks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cozy placeDamayVIPDined on 9/7/2014Nice little place overlooking the sound. Get there early to snag a window table. We had the french onion soup, french dip and duck confit...al very tasty. The only criticism I might have is the skin on the duck could have been crispier.Special Features:
- mussels yum yumlrb2001Dined on 9/4/2014I could come here a thousand times. Often I am making a quick trip into the city to shop at the market. I stop at PP for a cocktail, a glass of wine or champagne, and an appetizer or two. The mussels are my go-to dish though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Nice HideawayCeciVIPDined on 8/31/2014This is a cute little place tucked among the mayhem of Pikes Market. It has very good food and attentive service and is reasonably priced.Special Features:
- Reliably excellentOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/28/2014We dine here ourselves, and (as on this occasion) bring out of town guests - for the excellent food, excellent service, iconic Seattle view, and wonderful setting in Pike Place Market. We've never been disappointed. It can be a bit loud - you need to lean in to converse. But that's part of the vibe.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Last Friday GM's Craft Centre plant built the 24,150th Chevrolet SSR retro hotrod pickup. The Trailblazer-based SSR had been produced for three years at Craft Centre but never caught on much with consumers due to its lack of practicality for a truck and, at least initially, the lack of available grunt from its standard 5.3L Vortec V8 and four-speed automatic to get the thing going. The latter was remedied when Chevy began offering the $40,000 truck with its 400-hp, 6.0L LS2 V8 and a six-speed manual.
Much of the design and production of the SSR was handled by convertible and engineering specialist ASC and then handed over to GM's Craft Centre.

Ray Conner
777 Airliner production
LOS ANGELES For the second time, Boeing Co. and its largest union have failed to reach agreement on a new contract that would keep final assembly of the latest version of its 777 airliner in the Pacific Northwest, as the company also begins realignment of its research and development unit that will result in jobs shifting from the West Coast to the Southeast.
Chicago-based Boeing and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) met this past week to try to resolve differences over a contract extension that would keep final assembly of the new 777X, as well as production of its new composite wing, in the Puget Sound area.
"Unfortunately, the offer, which would have ensured this great airplane for the Puget Sound region, was immediately rejected by the union leadership," Ray Conner, president and chief executive officer of the companys Seattle-based Boeing Commercial Airplanes unit, said in a statement.
"The price Boeing demanded was too high," Tom Wroblewski, president of IAM District 751, said in a statement. "Our senior leadership team could not recommend Boeings counteroffer."
IAM members, unwilling to accept major concessions to pensions and other benefits, last month rejected an initial company proposal by a two-to-one margin (amm.com, Nov. 15). The unions offer this past week was met with a counterproposal by Boeing, which was turned down by the IAM, according to Boeing.
Failure of the latest Boeing-IAM negotiations is widely expected to heighten the already-stiff competition among several states for the 777X final assembly and wing plants (amm.com, Nov. 25).
Boeing also pointed out that acceptance of its proposal would have extended an earlier agreement with the IAM, committing final assembly of the companys new version of the 737 airliner, the 737 MAX, to its existing final assembly site of Renton, Wash., from 2016 to 2024.
In another development that will result in work shifting away from its traditional West Coast production locations, the company is realigning its Boeing Research & Technology unit in a move it estimates will cut 1,000 to 1,500 jobs on the West Coast and add 900 to 1,200 jobs in other parts of the country.
Boeing said it is establishing research centers in Huntsville, Ala., North Charleston, S.C., southern California, St. Louis and Seattle. The South Carolina site, which is also located close to its new assembly line for the 787 Dreamliner, will specialize in manufacturing technology while the Seattle center will focus on manufacturing technology integration.
About 550 to 800 engineers and technicians represented by Boeings largest white-collar union, the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), could be affected by the reductions in the Puget Sound area over the next two years, said a SPEEA spokesman in Tukwila, Wash.
"We are talking to the company and monitoring the situation," the spokesman said. "Well watch how this unfolds and address any concerns our members have along the way, including how this movement of work affects their wages and benefits."

"Gillian Flynn is the real deal, a sharp, acerbic, and compelling storyteller with a knack for the macabre." --Stephen King This collection, available exclusively as an ebook, brings together the first two novels of Gillian Flynn, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Gone Girl. In Sharp Objects, Flynn's debut novel, a young journalist returns home to cover a dark assignment--and to face her own damaged family history. With its taut, crafted writing, Sharp Objects is addictive, haunting, and unforgettable. Flynn's second novel, Dark Places, is an intricately orchestrated thriller that ravages a family's past to unearth the truth behind a horrifying crime. A New York Times bestseller and Weekend Today Top Summer Read, Dark Places solidified Flynn's status as one of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time.

Ray Hudson sees soccer as "a wild, multilayered legend with brave lads" and "paleface assassins," writes Richard Sandomir in The New York Times (12/13/13). That's not all he sees: "He delights in passes that are 'as soft as a lover's kiss' and in shots that curve like 'a Bernini sculpture'." Ray provides the color commentary for beIN Sport, and, "in the thick, Geordie accent of his native Newcastle, England," offers up "a rainbow of words." He once said that Gareth Bale of Real Madrid could "get his angles down better than Archimedes, isosceles – any of those Greek lads."
A former professional soccer player himself, Ray admits he's "over the top and bombastic," but "it's O.K. It's what a guy at a football match feels." His "flowery, clever, comically accurate" banter has earned him "a cult following among soccer fans … Websites collect his best phrases, a Twitter account transcribes his commentary in real time and video clips perpetuate his outlandish style in a growing visual archive … His sentences – if diagrammed – would resemble etymological helixes, with thoughts on soccer twisted with strands of pop culture, literature, math and science."
Oddly, Ray doesn't actually go to any games – he broadcasts from a small studio in Florida, watching the action on a video monitor. This enables him to focus purely on the game, without distraction, which he says "helps him forge an intimate connection with viewers." He has declined offers from bigger networks. "They're too Snow White for me," he says. "They love that solid image and that refined style." He wants to be free to "drop references to Barbra Streisand's nose and Cindy Crawford's mole." "It's not just a game for me," he says. "It fills my life."

eBay Strategies' Scot Wingo has news that Google plans to offer free payment processing at Google Checkout, until the end of the year.
This tells me one of two things is happening…
1. Google Checkout is not growing as fast as Google would like and needs a jumpstart
2. Google Checkout is growing just fine, but they want to send another shot across PayPal's bow
Either way, it's really a great move by Google. Skype (also owned by eBay) dropped call charges until the end of the year and their user base grew like crazy. With this move, Google will be able to attract a lot of new merchants, interested in saving on credit card processing fees – and just in time for the busy holiday shopping season too!

Bruce Davis, Charles Manson Family Member, Paroled After 40 Years in Prisonby Free Britney at . Comments
Bruce Davis, a 69-year-old former member of Charles Manson's "family" of murderers, was granted parole Thursday after 40 years in prison.
Davis was convicted with the Helter Skelter leader and another man for two murders unrelated to the famous Sharon Tate massacre in 1969.
After being rejected the previous 27 times he came up for parole, his release was approved by the California Men's Colony at San Luis Obispo.
"It's time for him to go home," said Davis' attorney, Michael Beckman.
A parole board determined in 2010 that Davis was ready for release, but then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reversed the decision by executive order.
Bruce Davis was convicted of killing Hollywood stuntman Donald "Shorty" Shea, who was ordered dead by Manson because he believed he was "a snitch."
Davis was also convicted for his involvement in the murder of musician Gary Hinman, who was killed over money that Manson claimed he owed the Family.
During his four decades in prison, Davis has become a born again Christian, ministered to other inmates, abd married a woman he met through the prison ministry.
He earned a master's degree and a doctorate in philosophy of religion.
Charles Manson was denied parole for the 12th time in April and remains in custody at the Corcoran State Prison in Central California.
The 77-year-old will not be eligible for another 15 years.
Here it is almost 3 months from my last comment about the parole of Bruce Davis, and I said then, and I say now, Jerry Brown should get off his duff and make a decision already. Just because he has 4 months to make his decision doesn't mean he has to wait till the last minute. Let the man go already. He's done his time and paid for his crime.
Let the man out already. 40 years imprisonment is enough punishment. Jerry Brown ought to make his decision and stop delaying. That's the trouble with our justice system - it goes on endlessly and never accomplishes anything. Free the man already!!!!!
Check your facts and 'report' correctly. The parole board advised to release him. He still has two large hurdles to go over including the governor. Last time he was approved and the governor over ruled. It's unlikely he will get out. No one in the 'family' has ever been able to get out. He won't be the first.
You really should check your facts...Squeaky Fromme was released in 2009 and she was most definitely a Manson Family member.
oh No ???? then what about ,,Clem,, S.Grogan??He was convicted of murderin Donald Shorty Shea... 2gether with Mr Davis, Tex Watson, and Manson himself... Mr Grogan is roaming free for years now...
.......STUDEBAKER CARS aren't around any longer!!
I think that he should live next door to the parole board, and everyone that okay-ed his release! Seriously what parent or grandparent would want him living next door to their children? I love how they keep mentioning he had nothing to do with the Sharon Tate murders, yah but they still brutally murdered two men. He was there he didn't try to stop it and he even used the machete and sliced the guy a few times. I have read every one of his testimonies. He is guilty. Life in prison should mean just that LIFE in prison. Those two men don't get a second chance because they became "born again Christians" or wrote a book and all that bs. This is ridiculous. Any psycho can pretend to be ok and cured just to get out and start their cult all over again!
he was sentenced to death, had it commuted when the death penalty was banned, was rejected by 27 parole boards- and now he's getting out?!!?!?! wtf is wrong with the state of CA?!?!!? are they THAT broke, they hafta release psychotic murderers to save money?!!?!? he chopped someone up- he committed the crimes when he was 30, not when he was some young, gullible brainwashed cult kid!

|Accident No.:
|Accident Type:
|Loss of control on downgrade
|Dunlap, Tennessee
|Date and Time:
|August 13, 1998; 7:13 p.m.
|Vehicle 1 (V1):
|1994 Peterbilt tractor-semitrailer hauling wood chips
|Vehicles 2-10 (V2-V10):
|4 passenger cars, 1 sport utility vehicle, 3 pickup trucks, and 1 panel truck
|2 fatalities, 17 minor to moderate injuries
Accident Description
The truckdriver was unable to control the vehicle's speed traveling down a steep, 4-mile downgrade toward a signalized intersection at State Highway 111 and U.S. Highway 127. (See figure 1.) She stated that she attempted to downshift into a lower gear. The driver failed to put the transmission back into gear, thereby descending the hill with only air mechanical brakes to control the speed. She lost control of the truck, traveled into the intersection, and struck several parked and moving vehicles and pedestrians. Two occupants of a car were killed; four other vehicle occupants and 13 pedestrians were injured.
The truckdriver stated during her interview with the police that her truck was overloaded (in excess of 93,000 pounds). A postaccident inspection of the truck revealed no mechanical deficiencies.
State/Federal Oversight
Tennessee has adopted the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations with some variances; none of the variances were pertinent to the carrier or driver at the time of the accident. The Commercial Motor Vehicle Division of the Tennessee Department of Safety had never reviewed or audited either the owner/carrier of the truck tractor or the owner of the semitrailer involved in the accident.
Figure 1. Accident diagram.
Probable Cause
The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the accident was the truckdriver's inability to control the truck on a long, steep downgrade. Contributing to the cause of the accident may have been excessive load weight.
Adopted: September 17, 2002

Will Pearson's 360 panoramic tours
"I grew up in the Peak District, Derbyshire and after a post-university stint in Nottingham headed south to London and have been a fixture here ever since. I've been a professional panoramic photographer since the mid-nineties. I love my job and each day is different, the opportunity to capture these images is a privilege and sometimes an obsession."

Amazing pictures! As a marketer and fellow photographer, I am definitely becoming Will's fan.
Nice find, the photos are really impressive.
Wow, that's what Dubai looks like? I thought it was a fabricated image. What a bizarre cityscape. Nice sand tone to the image to fit the subject matter.
Anything to add?

Age-differences aside, there'sa definite pattern to suchflings that's haphazardand never ends happily.
It's Always a Matter of Semantics, Isn't It?
Eastern Ukraine. Syria. North Korea. Mylasian Airlines Flight 370. Cliven Bundy… The world's awash in semantics, isn't it?
Every moment of every day and every night we have the sneaking suspicion that words and phrases are being manipulated and that we, as free-thinking citizens of the world-at-large haven't a clue as to the real circumstances that mere syllables are reducing to manageable sound-bytes.
The fact is, we cannot handle the complexity of human nature and the events which set that nature in motion. We are free, and yet… not as much free as malleable to the coercive mindset of dictators and delitorious power-brokers of corporations without end.
Our freedom is the freedom that Big Oil, McDonald's and the National Football League want us to have. Peas or Carrots… Chocolate or Vanilla… Wins or Losses… And there's not much in between! My point, of course, is that we should be careful. Politics and Entertainment have a tendency to merge, and to blur the distinction that might make us Good and Conscientious Citizens of the Global Community. Our temptations, therefore, include those socially-estute items on the agenda which might placate us with wealth and recognition. We want those things and will continue to want them… until the apocalyptic scenario of The Book of Eli finds relevance among the southern gentry.
And my point is that we might create more forums for authentic conversation and less for feeble equivocation. That is to say, the issues are complex and deserve the full arsenal of our intellectual repertoire.
In other words, let's talk. Let's listen. Let's have that dialogue in which the very syllables of words are discerned and deciphered for the sake of MEANING. What does the information mean? And how do the relationships on the ground provide the most authentic context for that meaning to become an actionable movement within the sweep of human history? In the United States and elsewhere, my sense is that intuition and analysis have been separated by an ocean of wild, undulating waves. Intuition, of course, has the advantage of going deep. And analysis might pinpoint where and when that depth might allow for some precise acumen.
For example, why would we want to believe that Vladimir Putin embodies the qualities of good leadership? He manipulates domestic consumption of rhetoric within the bounds of Russia and flouts the sensibilities of his trading partners in Europe. He rides a horse without a shirt and brandishes an ancient piece of pottery as if it belonged to him… Take care, you guru's the western world! Imagery will only go as far as the funding of the social imagination, and the semantics of late have had the effect of defunding our hopes and dreams. Do we want freedom? First, we want the leaders we've chosen to articulate a vision of freedom that's more than individual wants and desires. And second, we want leaders who expose the power-hungry for the insecure weaklings that they are… And finally, the remedy to words, words and more words that are neutered and derailed is for courageous individuals to re-attach potency to the rhetoric and to go-about on-foot to the places and the people whom mass-communication often avoids.
Microbes in Antarctica Live for 100,000 Years … In Luxury!
It's a fascinating irony. Or perhaps a "luxury," in the ironic sense that Monty Python suggests from the Hollywood Bowl: the more human beings, via our various cultures, move and mingle around the globe, the more military manuevers threaten our extinction … and the more we discover about the tenacity of microbes at the bottom of a lake … What is up with that?
Researcher David Pearce, after boring a hole into the sediment of Lake Whillans, says this: "We can start to build a picture of what limits life in extreme conditions and then start thinking about what might limit life on other planets." And, of course, we hear that innocuous remark and begin to look for practical applications. Maybe we don't have to work hard for peace… Maybe we don't have to inhibit major industry from polluting the environment… Maybe the answer resides with those microbes and those unknown cultures and DNA sequences that we've never seen before… And maybe, just maybe, if we crack the code, many of us can move to Europa and establish our own colony of like-minded life forms…
Aren't we predisposed to make these very inferences? And if you would agree, that we are, that we'd rather bypass the dialogue incumbent upon a free society, then you know the next question coming down the pike: Why not stay here, with the microbes at the bottom of that luxurious lake?
Or consider this…
It's twelve years and counting since a group of well-organized terrorist-cells sprang into action and devastated the western world's sense of security. At the time, I recall how people would watch the news and crawl into fetal positions, and how they began to question the ways that we work and the ways that we play… And they'd talk about it and wonder if there weren't other ways to be in the world. And consider how the average blue-collar guy or administrative assistant responded to horror of the World Trade Center crumbling to the ground. Many, in my experience, didn't reduce the meaning of this tragedy to mere patriotism. Nor did they rush into conversations with the rhetoric of defending our God-given freedoms. News commentators, like Cokie Roberts, Peter Jennings and Dan Rather, lost their objectivity, and became puddles that reflected the depth of the country's loss … only it wasn't just an open wound for the United States; it was a confrontation with the doctrine of secular salvation that Enlightenment philosophers had propagated alongside the competing ideologies of Christianity and Islam… That is, the greatest thinkers of the age–Immanuel Kant and Wilhelm Hegel–made us believe in the sanctity of the autonomous individual and the inevitable progress of history, and voila!
There it is. The dynamics of 9/11 debunk both over-arching paradigms (the preeminence of the self and the prowess of history) and send them, with those notorious flights, to the ground… And yet, here's the place where the microbes survive and have survived. Here's the place where we can mutate into something more than new and improved DNA sequences. Here's the place in which we devote ourselves to more than a Sci-Fi solution to the massacres and mayhem, going on everywhere but Antarctica…

Seriously? The former planning director was all talk. As much as people wanted to believe his words because he has an amazing gift for telling people what they want to hear, there's no substance. The mayor did the right thing.
A better analogy would be to cast Chesney as the tailor behind the "Emperor with no Clothes." Fortunately, he was let go before he caused a major embarrassment.
i am trying to love it. i want to buy a home here and fight the good fight. issue i have is it seems to toxic with no end in sight. stayed at holiday inn downtown overlooking the river....only to wake to views of the paint company spewing pollution (right next to the college!!! LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1)). Aluminum plant seeping to the aquifer . spokesman owned by paper company who pollutes 24/7, sure take a nice hike up high dr and watch the smokestack on the horizon...oh boy what fun.....swimming? good luck!!!! if somehow i am wrong feel free to advise.
The Republicans' landmark victories this month meant nothing and they must change their principles immediately despite their successes? Apparently it's now legal to smoke weed in Idaho, which is the only explanation for this column.
For sake of discussion here I am going to state my race; negro/black(originally from Caribbean isle). I agree with the Abe's comment especially the first lines. For starters the quality of education in Spokane schools is far from the best in the country . This is coming from somebody who was exposed to schools with high standards, schools that challenged and stretched student's minds. A person cannot give you what he/ does not have. I must disappoint many by saying we do not have a racial issue in society. We have a human issue as someone told me some time back. I will go further by saying we have a spiritual issue, a sin issue(whether you are believer or not). I cannot legislate a person's heart. The law cannot make a person unafraid of another. I say this because much of "racism" and what we call "hate" is based on fear/insecurity. The law cannot force and direct our feelings. So prejudice, bias, subtle discrimination, profiling will always be with us. The only thing we can ask of government is to prosecute when we can prove access to opportunity in society was denied due to bias. Also enough mention of police and government. What about parenting-the white elephant in the room? Who is having babies, how prepared are they financially, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually? Easy to shift blame. Not fair.
Mr. Chesney can voluntarily waive any confidentiality surrounding his termination. Perhaps the Inlander can ask him if he will do so. If he won't, perhaps Condon's hands are tied and he can't discuss the circumstances. If Mr Chesney has been treated unfairly, why would he want to keep quiet?
I am not really sure what Rachel means by "equitable education." How do you teach math, science, English, etc. differently to students based on race and ethnicity? Keep in mind that Spokane County population stats show that total non-Caucasian population is around 5%. That means that Asian, Hispanic, Native American and black populations are even smaller than that. When you have fairly small populations of these groups and spread them out over the whole county among a dozen different school districts, there are some practical problems in doing anything that is designed to reach those groups, assuming there is something that can or should be done.
Frustrated with perceived unresponsiveness from public school administrators? Advocate for more charter schools and tuition vouchers. These alternatives increase parents' choices, and choices lead to competition. Competition will necessarily improve customer service at schools, because dissatisfied customers can take their students and dollars elsewhere. No choice means no competition and less pressure to keep the parents/customers happy.
Rachel, what if all available evidence persuades the Grand Jury that Officer Wilson did nothing wrong? Would you want the Grand Jury to indict him anyway just to keep the peace?
This was a great piece. I will definitely ponder it - thanks for your thoughts, as always, Luke!
Maybe there is an education party now. Certainly the Democrats got schooled. And Brownback--a tea party favorite-- beat the Democrat and the Rhinos from his own party.
She beat Pakootas by an 18% margin. The haters must be stewing in their own bile.
If Mr. Herold has any friends, they need to take turns accompanying him everywhere he goes for the next week or so. After the election results yesterday he may be at risk for harming himself.
More evidence of Baumgartner's maturity level:
This is how children behave. This is not how I wish to be represented in Olympia -- by someone with the mentality of a smug frat bro. North By Northwest predates any contribution Baumgartner thinks he's made in our region.
Shame on this shameless self-promoter.
I know! It's so interesting. What a dichotomy where people think that job growth is sunanimous
If, as McGregor says, all our Ebola problems are because Congress will not confirm Murthy, well then perhaps Obama should nominate another candidate - and one that is acceptable to both parties (thus representing 98% of the population and not just the LIBERAL simple majority.) Oops - By the Way - Centers for Disease Control - now there is a story about how Big Government will protect us.
So, North Dakotan boom towns are a combination of Gangs of New York and Robocop, with explosive lightning? And they're going to cause two decades of growth and far less unemployment, and money? Okay, I'm willing to risk it. Likely many Dakotans are also willing to risk it, but feel free to explain to them how you know better Ms. Editorial Writer. By the way, that at the end there was the worst tagline ever. Try a classic: "WHO WILL SURVIVE...AND WHAT WILL BE LEFT OF THEM?"
Who Knows Rich Cowan?? Certainly we don't from your article.... But you sure seem to dislike Mr Baumgartner with a passion. Partisan Politics to a fault.....Just wondering what your resume would be like Professor Herold..Do Not see many shining Marks on your Rate My Professors Page at Gonzaga...http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=496144#...But probably your detractors are all Republican.
Michael. Care to comment? I'd say you have a thin skin to go along with an outsized ego. Purely an observation. Based on the record.
Not gracious Michael. You got some well-deserved criticism. You didn't address any of it. You've taken far too much credit for the work of others, dressed up your resume to a fare-thee-well and are behaving like the GOP heir apparent. Perhaps a tad of humility is in order.
Predictable commentary that polticizes the issue, and inaccurately at that. The Ebola czar appointed by President Obama is a political hack with no medical training and no background in public health. Neither this article nor the Administration addresses the risk of an outbreak in a reasoned, scientific way.
If you are suffering from depression, I recommend the http://destroydepression.com system. Written by a former…

Stop the presses! The surge IS a failure!
When Mike left for Iraq last year as part of the strategic troop surge I had been supportive of the whole idea, and remained that way. I posted several articles on the successes in the beginning of the movement, and I was believing that we would see how each small success would accumulate into a huge success in the end.
Well, Virginia, it's true. The surge is a failure, but it's a different surge that I am talking about. I found the following post at Dumb Looks Still Free, and the author has brilliantly compared the successes of the Iraqi Government's benchmarks against our own Democrats in Congress and their progress toward their own benchmarks.
The surge of Democrats in Congress is a failure! It's time for them to retreat! We should cut all of their funding.

Cyclospora outbreak: FDA seeks possible link to 200 more cases
Despite naming a source last week of a salad mix that was tainted with the cyclospora virus, the Food and Drug Administration is busy playing a game of connect the dots to see if other cases of greens may be linked to the outbreak.
Cyclospora outbreak: Experts call for more details
Federal officials warn that an outbreak of an intestinal illness that has sickened people in at least 15 states is not over yet. But food safety advocates are expressing concern at the lack of information officials are providing.
Cyclospora infections: Tracking the source
State and federal investigators are trying to figure out the source of a stomach bug that has sickened 372 people in 15 states. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about the infection and the outbreak.

Even though local authorities are
unable to get permission from the FAA to use UAV's for police work,
the Customs and Border Patrol have been testing a Predator B
Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) stationed at Fort Drum since early
June for a possible border patrol mission.
According to television station WWTI in Watertown, New York, DHS
is using the restricted airspace over Fort Drum to determine if the
Predator is a good fit for patrolling the nation's northern
Border Patrol currently has five of the unmanned aircraft, none
of which are permanently stationed in the northeast. The Predator
currently under testing will be operating out of Fort Drum for
about three weeks.
John Stanton, director of CBP's Office of Air and Marine, said
state, provincial and local law enforcement agencies were quick to
take up the offer of added surveillance of Lake Ontario and the St.
Lawrence River.
"So while we were flying, we were asked by our partner law
enforcement agencies if we would be kind enough to be on the
lookout for suspicious activities," Stanton told WWTI.
The Predator flies only in restricted airspace at 19,000 feet,
which means it avoids low-level traffic and lowers the risk of a
midair collision. Stanton said the aircraft is the same as the
Predators flown by the military (shown above), except it carries no
weapons and has a lower-powered engine.

More transparency about profits and company direction, but I do think they do more on that front than most private companies. Also, some sort of profit based incentive for employees would be a great motivator.RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEO

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Triage Consulting Group.Interview Details
Went through off campus recruiting in the summer. I had a quick Skype call (about 20 min) with a Senior associate just to gauge my interest in the position and talk very briefly about my resume. He also told me about his background and experiences at Triage. This went well and they emailed me to schedule 2, 45 minute back to back Skype calls with two Senior associates. These interviews were very much the same as the initial one. Very conversational, we talked about college, going abroad, living in SF, ect. Definitely not a stressful interview. After this they emailed me and invited me to fly up to SF for an in office interview. They tell you beforehand exactly how the interview will go…3 45 minute interviews with 3 different Principals at the company, lunch with 2 senior associates, and a case study. The day was really straight forward, you meet the senior associates you will be having lunch with in the morning and they walk you through your day. Ask them questions to relieve any of the nerves you have about interviewing. The senior associates I met were both super cool and gave me and definitely helped to calm me down. My first 45 min interview was pretty easy going, we talked about my interest in the healthcare system and my involvement in on campus clubs/groups (mostly my sorority). The second 45 min interview was a bit more nerve wracking because he asked me a lot of questions about my quantitative skills/work experience and I felt like I rambled a lot. He then saw that I studied abroad and we talked about traveling so I felt the interview ended on a positive not. After these two interviews we had the case study. They spend about 45 minutes explaining how insurance contracts and billing works and then you do a practice problem. Pay attention here because they literally tell you exactly what you will be doing for the case study. You then have 3 insurance contract 'problems' to work out. Despite them outlining what you do beforehand, I was still super confused. I finished the first one no problem, got most of the second one and hardly started the third question before time was up. Just make sure that, even if you don't complete all of the math, you write something in the 'explanation' portion to show that you understood the bigger picture (i.e., why the bill wasn't paid correctly due to some stipulation in the insurance contract). After the case study we went to lunch at a really nice restaurant right on the water. Obviously you are still interviewing here and should be well mannered/professional, but remember that a huge part of this interview process is looking past your skill sets to gauge you as a person. A lot of the associate's work involves travel and when it comes down to it, the senior associates interviewing you want to make sure that you're a cool person to be around and someone they wouldn't mind being stuck in an airport or hotel room with. That being said, the conversation here is a lot more casual. We talked about college, family, living in the city, adjusting to the work world, ext. This is a good opportunity to ask questions about company culture, I remember they told me a lot about what Triager's do to have fun, the bonding activities they have and trips they go on. They definitely sold me on it being a fun group of people to work with. It seems arbitrary but order a soda or coffee at lunch. It's a really long day and, especially after eating, you might feel like dropping to the floor from exhaustion. The caffeine will help. After lunch we went back and had the last 45 minute interview. She mostly asked what kind of questions I had about Triage, the interview process, the type of work I'd be doing. The one major thing I noticed after the day in general is that they want you to ask A LOT of questions. The interviews are very conversational, they really didn't ask very many behavioral questions that I remember, maybe 2 or 3. That being said, make sure you're prepared to talk about yourself but realize that there may be 15 minutes at the end that they stop asking you questions about your qualifications and so you need to have plenty of questions ready to fill time. I brought a resume holder and a notepad with me with a list of questions written down because I knew I wouldn't remember everything I wanted to ask. Overall the day was pretty straight forward, everyone was incredibly friendly and excited to have you there, and the interviews were not necessarily difficult. Despite this I still felt really bad about the day but I think I was overanalyzing everything I said during the interviews. I was also the only one in my interview group to not finish the case study and so that really rocked my confidence. What I realized later though is that they aren't necessarily looking for someone who knows everything about insurance contracts. They teach you all that in training, they mostly look for well rounded people who are adaptive and pick up on things quickly.Interview Questions

The Old Town Vapor 10 Stern Hatch Kit converts the stern day well on the Old Town Vapor Kayak to a covered hatch area. The hatch is easy to install and the hatch rope let's you open the hatch from the comfort of the cockpit. The hinged cover creates a water-tight seal protecting your belongings. Installation instructions are available under the Resources tab. The kit includes the hinged hatch cover, cherry rivets, hatch rope, and instructions.

The Old Town Vapor Stern Hatch Kit is a necessity for any Vapor 10 owner! Installed in minutes and since it's from Old Town, it looks like it belongs there! A great way to turn an "unfinished" stern well into a nice storage area.
Ordering and delivery were great. Wish there was a little better product description though. The hatch cover was a plastic cover instead of the tighter fitting rubber. Plan to install it this week.
Easy to install. You need a pop rivet tool though. Got an inexpensive one at Harbor Freight. Shipping was fast and efficient. It is not waterproof, I did not expect that, but it does keep my stuff in safely, much better than on the floor.
stern hatch kit for Vapor 10.Extremely easy install. Fits is perfect. Price was good. Shipping fast and product was as expected.

Rosetta McClain Gardens
Photos by Alan L Brown - Posted April, 2009
At the parking lot exit from Rosetta McClain Gardens on Glen Everest Road is this Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto plaque which says:
Plaque coordinates: 43.698061 -79.255457
The 16 ha Rumph farm, overlooking Scarborough Bluffs, was purchased in 1904-1905 by Thomas McDonald West, owner and operator of J. & J. Taylor Limited, Toronto Safe Works. He and his wife Emma then divided it among their four children, Joseph McDonald, William Needham, Howard Thomas, and Rosetta. Many of the historic landscape improvements enjoyed today were initially undertaken by Rosetta's husband, Robert Watson McClain, and her brother Joseph McDonald.
Rosetta McClain died in December 1940 and in 1959 her husband offered their property to the city of Toronto as parkland in her memory. In 1977, this land was conveyed to the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and combined with portions of the J.M. and H.T. West properties. A further parcel from the W.N. West holdings was added in 1985, creating a 9 ha park. The Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Property Department operates these lands as part of its parks system, and has included special features such as braille signs, scent gardens, and textured paths to create a fully accessible park to be enjoyed by all visitors.

My mother Shirley Little was born here and her father was John Little. He was the gardener and they lived on the property. I have never seen this park and reside at the opposite end of the GTA. John Little passed when she was only 2 and the family had to leave. This was the height of the Depression. At the time my grandmother Jeanette had two little children and was basically sent packing. This was a very different time when people learned to rely on family.

I was reading an article in the newspaper recently which listed several of Toronto's many parks and gardens. The Rosetta McClain Gardens was the only one I'd never heard of in all my years growing up here in Toronto. I visited today for the first time and took many wonderful photographs as I walked the entire grounds. I was very impressed at it's beautiful floral and tree landscape. I will most certainly return from season to season to see it in all it's glory. (Paul)

I have lived in Toronto all of my 64 years and did not know about the lovely park. I heard about it from two different friends in the same week and found the gardens very peaceful when I visited today.

Answer to June 2, 2012 post: My daughter was married in the park at the old ruins in August, 2006 and we didn't have an interference from visitors. Everyone was very respectful and kept their distance. It was a lovely place for a wedding! Congratulations and best wishes on your upcoming wedding.

I am getting married in this park in september 2013, just wondering if because it is a city park, if random people will be walking through my ceremony and our pictures?

Quite some time ago I went to the park, before the major renovations. I noticed some large boulders at the back of the site. On the boulders were engraved many names. Was that part of a family pet cemetery? What was done to that area?
> Posted August 8, 2010
What is the brick structure that still remains on the northern area of the property? Was it one of the West's houses and if so when does it date back to?
> Posted May 28, 2010
Our visitors from California and Texas were very impressed with the gardens and view of Lake Ontario that are afforded by the Rosetta McClain gardens.

Wonderful, serene park with the beautiful view. One of my favourite Scarborough spots.

Pirates bring up Brandon Cumpton; Tony Sanchez injured?
The Pirates have called up Brandon Cumpton as their 26th man for Sunday's doubleheader in New York, according to Dan Zangrilli of 93.7 the Fan. For doubleheaders scheduled at least 48 hours in advance, teams are allowed to add an extra player to the roster, and it makes sense to add a pitcher since there isn't much need for additional bench players with the DH in an AL park...
