Golf outing set for Oct. 11
Nancy Pokorny recalls her mom lobbying her on a career choice.
Erin Dwyer learned that everybody seems to want a piece of Nutter on a given day.
"I think we'll get to the championship. It's going to be rough because some of the teams we play are tough. We definitely have the talent, and I think we're strong because if one player isn't doing well, the others will pick her up. We all keep each other positive." — Danielle Gasperi
Dance has become quite avant-garde over the years, but Pam Hetherington and Kat Richter are building their upcoming Philly Fringe performance around a classic style.
The 40-plus police officers and firefighters honored last week at state Sen. Shirley Kitchen's 14th annual appreciation banquet seemed genuinely pleased to be singled out for outstanding work.

Sharyn @ diyforstyle writes Williamsburg Fashion Weekend S/S 2013 – Cutting Edge Eco-Conscious Fashion
Miss T. @ Prairie Eco Thrifter writes Avoid Toxic Skincare Products in Minutes Flat – the skincare industry is full of products laden with toxic chemicals, which we (often) unknowingly slather all over ourselves to "protect" us from the sun or wrinkles or whatever. Did you know that tens of thousands of chemicals are used in these products and that most of them are not tested for safety? Most people don't and I surely didn't.
Robert @ The College Investor writes So, What Do You Do? – I learned at a bloggging conference over the weekend that there isn't much difference between the professionals and the hobbyists. Sometimes, the difference was timing — the guys who'd been doing it the longest had the most experience (and the glint in their eye that showed that they'd made it).
Robert @ Entrepreneurship & Life writes Turn a Hobby into a Business – If you are like me, you have at least one hobby that you enjoy spending your time (and money) doing. However, unlike most people, I turned my hobbies into income streams. It is not very hard to jump from hobby to small business. Here are some steps you can take to turn a money drain into an income source.
Linsey @ Lille Punkin writes Easy Ham Balls Recipe – One of my family's favorite things to eat is ham balls. This sweet, tangy pork recipe is perfect for holiday dinners, potlucks, or any time you want to show your family what a rockstar you are in the kitchen!

My mother in law just lost a huge Ash tree in her back-yard. It was declining for a few years, but last year she had it taken out and quickly realized that she no longer has screening from her neighbor.
I have been given full reign when it comes to planting in her double lot (yeah! as my yard is quickly getting filled). the spot I would be planting in has a problem, it floods 2 or so inches deep from now til late April each year. (though the neighbor's yard is much worse, it floods almost a foot deep for the same period. I am thinking Arundo Donax Variegata. (I know, not a popular plant in this forum, arguably not even a bamboo at all...got it). I'm thinking quick screening, vidually appealing and the ability to stand in water for two-three months a year. I will sink it into pots, with the lips 1 1/2 inches above the soil surface. Ok, first question, will it survive such conditions? 2nd, will it fulfill the requirements I have for it. 3rd how spreading is this plant in zone 6? ~Chills |
Follow-Up Postings:
As this is not a bamboo, and is not a plant that is real popular with bamboo nuts, let me suggest that you might have better luck getting a helpful answer by posting in the Ornamental Grasses Forum. A search I did in that forum produced quite a few hits on that type of plant. I also looked at a site called Plantfiles [http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/1560/], and they say not to over-water it, so I don't think it will be happy in standing water. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Search: Donax
Hi Kudzu, I agree with you and I have gone through with that link and I found a lot of useful information there. Thanks for sharing. Stella |

COP is open becuase I was just at Disney almost 2 weeks ago. Idk why its not listed on the map. Maybe they just didn't want to redo the map.
I was worried there for a minute! COP was closed last time I was at WDW and I am really looking forward to seeing it again this time. 2 weeks tomorrow and I will be there!
We'll always hold CoP near and dear... on our very first trip to WDW 5 years ago now (it doesn't seem possible that it was that long ago, and even worse that we haven't been back in nearly 3 years!) one of the first rides we went on was the TTA. Our younger daughter (who was only 3 at the time) became absolutely terrified of the portion inside Space Mt - suffering from an unknown-until-that-very-moment fear of the dark, or as she cried out "deep deep dark!" (I've got a picture of her with the biggest, "scared-est" Bambi eyes you've ever seen!)
Well, as soon as we exited from the TTA, we decided the best thing to do was to head over to CoP. I had been on it at Disneyland (back when I was 8 during my family's one-day trip in 1969) so I knew it was a "safe" option for the wee one. Plus, we figured she'd have 20 to 30 minutes to calm down and relax in the AC.
Well, Kellie fell in love with that ride... she even got to the point that she was singing along and as we'd leave one "era" she'd call out to the father "we'll see you in a few years!" It was just too cute.
Every time I hear the rumors that the powers-that-be want to shutter it, I just want to cry.
Besides our personal experience... it's really the only thing on the entire WDW property that has that "Walt-ified" aspect to it, at least to the best of my knowledge. Personally, I'd like them to keep it operational if for no other reason than that.
Wonder how we could go about getting it declared a national historic place?
Sandy (yeah, I'm the sentimental one... I'll admit it... I cry whenever I walk out onto Main Street, USA...)
Brian, Sandy, Bonnie & Kellie
Nov. 6, 2002... what a day!
"It's kind of fun to do the impossible" W.E.D.
No trip to WDW and MK wouldn't be complete without a ride on CoP!!
"Most of my life I have done what I wanted to do. I have had fun on the job.I have never been able to confine that fun to office hours." ~ Walt Disney
The Carousel of Progress is my favorite attraction, yet I hear that it is not always open. This was one of Walt's favorite attractions and he personally supervised all of its details. If alive, Walt would never let it get closed. It represents the America of the past, the time when Walt was growing up. I visited the Carousel before anybody else here on the forum. I rode it on April 22, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It was the very first day and there were technical problems with the carousel's rotation. The Carousel only rotated after 2 performances, so I saw each segment 2 times. I was thrilled. I never saw audio-animatronics before so I thought they were actual people. I fell in love with the attraction and rode it over 100 times. I followed it to Disneyland and then to WDW where they changed the song to "The Best Years Of Your Life" since GE no longer sponsored it. Then, GE sponsored "Horizons", but ended that, too. Sadly, the original host of the Carousel Theatre, Rex Allen, was tragically killed in Arizona in a car accident. His unique voice stills appears as the current grandfather. The Carousel of Progress is as American as apple pie and must not be demolished!
I remember riding CoP for the first time in the early 80's. We loved it. Rode it again another time, and unfortunately there were some non-english speaking guests who talked through the whole thing and rather ruined it for us. My husband and I rode it again a year or so ago. It wasn't as unique as the earlier times through since some of the things of the "future" are almost the "here". It's still good entertainment and I ride it whenever I can talk family members into going on. It does remind me that no matter what is "new" now will one day be old fashioned.
mini-V What will you celebrate?
Adult daycare for the kid inside you.
Corny as the COP may be, it is still one of the WDW classics. I remember being on that when I was a kid in the 70's and whenever I visit the park, I have to go, just for old times sake! At least the lines aren't as long as they used to be!!!
Yes, I agree. The "Carousel" is very corny and is outdated. I'm sure youngsters would be put to sleep but for those Disney buffs or those who remember the "good old days", it is a national treasure. The ride should be exhibited at the Smithsonian if it ever must be closed.
Thank goodness I love the CoP!
I found it out of what i refer to as my Medium Rare luck!
There weren't enough FastPasses for my entire Family to go on Space Mountain when i was 10 i had already been on so i didnt mind. So me and my aunt went to go back over to frontierland. i dont know what but something caught my eye so we went in. I have hearted it ever since!
Sorry everyone for practically writing my life story on most of my posts but every memory has a story to be shared.
The older I get the more it grows on me. The subject of what would Walt do if he were still alive is a touchy subject to a lot of people. Personally I think Walt wouldn't have kept CoP around forever just because it is a classic. Walt was a firm believer in "plussing" an attraction. He was always big in keeping the attractions exciting and new and wouldn't have wanted it to stay around forever. CoP won't always be drawing in crowds unless it changes.
1st As far as I know the ride has been on the map all the time for the past year. As of yesterday it is attraction #43.
2nd Something needs to happen in there to upgrade it. These are my ideas.
a) Retrovamp it, make it exactly like Walt Designed it only with upgraded technology. It would be nostalgic.
b) Historize it, Make it historically accurate. It is supposed to be a chronicle of a families life through out the 20th century. As is, it depicts an innacurate projection of the way we were supposed to be in 1999. Change it to just be more real.
c) Total revamp-- depict a century in the life of a 21st century family. Make it multi-cultural, rather than showing different seasons in the same families life, make it different familes.
Anyway that's my idea.
The point is to show how one family PROGRESSed. If you have different families it doesn't show how much changes as easily as seeing the same family in each scene. One would wonder how much is PROGRESS and how much is just cultural differences coming into play. You could see something that is a cultural thing and wonder if thats how it was during that time period for everybody, or if it was just for that particular ethnicity. By seeing the same family we see how the same background, lifestyle, beliefs, etc. have progressed over the years. I tried my best to explain the idea behind it. Hopefully that made sense.
I just think they need to update the last scene beacause it's 2006. Maybe for WDW's upcomming 35th(correct me if i'm wrong) they'll update it.

Important Information >>
By Tom Caspar
Purchase the complete version of this woodworking technique story from AWBookstore.com.
Have you ever heard a shelf groan? Well, maybe not, but some shelves look like they would if they could. So much stuff gets piled on them that they end up sagging like a limp noodle. It's not a pretty sight. A span that holds up weight should look strong and sturdy. Even a slight sag sends an unappealing visual message.

Listing product categories from WP e-Commerce PHP string
I am making an eCommerce-solution at this URL: http://skaugsport.effektivhjemmeside.no
I am using Wordpress 3.4.2, the "Elegant Themes"-theme Boutique 2.5. and the shopping cart plugin from http://www.getshopped.com, WP e-Commerce 18.104.22.168.
Here is my problem:
The store has about 110 product categories if you add up all the main and sub categories. When i am using the menu-option in Wordpress admin-panel i am not able to save my menu when it exceeds about 60 menu items. The saving process fails, and mye menu is set back to how i looked last time i was able to save. I have narrowed it down to beeing about 5864 menu items that is the limit.
I haved talked to my ISP about solving this problem by setting a longer allowed save time before the servers cancel the action (this is a field i know nothing about, but i googled up this as a probable solution). The answer was that this could not be done/allowed due to safty issues. The tip they gave me thoug was to hardcode a PHP-code that wrote out all my product categories directly for me and not use the Wordpress menu system.
I was wondering if anyone can help me out, as i do not know how to code this in PHP. I need the PHP-code that outputs mye product categories and subcategories with names and URLs so that i can make a menu of them, and style it using CSS.
The product categories are not the "same" as the Wordpress default post categories. The product categories are an addition you get by using the WP e-Commerce plugin, so the code would need to target thoose categories, not Wordpress default.
Anyone able to help me out?

"Coming into university I wasn't sure what I wanted from a degree stand point. Quickly after starting my career at the University of Charleston I found out how deep the sports industry truly is. After that I fully adopted into the SPAD program. The SPAD major allows me to grasp every aspect about the industry that I could ever want. This program is by far one of the best programs that I could have chosen. I now have a clear understanding what I want to do in life and I am on a path of success. All of this could not happen without the great help of the core teachers within the SPAD program. They offer real life experience to the program, which benefits the students in a way that will only truly be appreciated after graduation."— Justin Emerson, Class of 2011
"The SPAD major at UC has evolved since my freshmen year. Every semester the program has found a way to improve. Our classes and projects involve current issues and examples, teaching us valuable real life lessons that we don't learn from a book. This is going to put us ahead of competitors within the industry when we graduate." — Ryan Hathaway, Class of 2012
"When I first came to the University of Charleston I was a Biology major because it was all I was interested in during high school. I soon realized that I was bored of this subject so I decided to switch. After talking to advisors and teachers, Sports Administration sounded the most appealing. After two semesters I am very pleased with my choice and I look forward to continuing my education in the sports field. I like how Sports Administration classes have more hands on work and projects than classes with lectures and tests. These projects provide real world examples and give us good experience for after school jobs. I also like how classes are more for work days than traditional teaching because students are expected to be prepared. I am excited to see what my last three semesters have for me." — Craig Cantor, Class of 2012
"In nearly all of my SPAD classes we had projects that helped prepare us for the real world working in the sports industry. From writing and producing a media guide to the numerous speeches and debates held, I felt very confident heading into my job in sports after college. Only weeks after graduation I had the opportunity to experience an incredible summer internship within the sports industry and after completion I secured a full-time job doing what I love. The UC SPAD program provided me with the education and confidence to excel within the sports industry and I couldn't be more thankful."— Robert Spain, Class of 2010
"Professor Wells' experience in the sports industry has transferred into the curriculum for the SPAD major. She brings her real world experiences and adjusts them to fit the classes by creating individual and group projects. It's the projects and the set up of the classes that has really made this program exceptional and has prepared me for graduate school." — Laura Buckalew, Class of 2010
"The UC SPAD major was tremendous in laying the foundation for my sports career. While the classes and projects are great, it's the faculty and administration that makes UC stand apart. It's a wonderful opportunity to stay highly involved right on your own campus in UC's athletic department. You are not just a number; you are given the personal attention many larger schools cannot give individuals on a daily basis. It provided me the opportunity to differentiate myself for my graduate school and career search."— Corey Mehl, Class of 2009

Transmogrifying your way into the Stormwind Guard {WoW}
Jan 6th 2012 1:36PM Actually, if you ever want to put together a Twill lookalike set, try http://www.wowhead.com/transmog-set=84 (Elementalist set, in case the link doesn't work.) Green BC-random drops, so can be a little hard to find, and the hood is missing, but other than that, Twill!
Breakfast Topic: What's the most useless ability in World of Warcraft? {WoW}
Dec 22nd 2011 9:16PM One more use for Rockbiter. CC. Frogs don't usually last long when everyone's AOEing, so when your Hex absolutely needs to STAY Hexed, put Rockbiter on your weapon, Unleash Elements to taunt the mob over to your feet, THEN Hex it, now safely out of the way of the AOE. Do warn your tank first, though, or you'll most likely find the tank taunting it back. Works best for resto or elemental, for obvious reasons. :-)

The Daily Quest: He says he's very sad {WoW}
Dec 14th 2011 11:08PM I think I ran into his alt! DK, forget the name, spent the entire trash before the boss prospecting. (And how did he have THAT much ore in his bags, anyway?!) We did kick him before pulling the boss, though.
Breakfast Topic: What secondary character would you promote to a leading role? {WoW}
Dec 14th 2011 4:09PM Just one minor comment: your face/hairstyle aren't chosen randomly in the Caverns of Time dungeons, they are reliant on what face/hairstyle your toon has. For example, say your draenei has draenei face #7 and hairstyle #1. When you transform into a human in CoS, your human is now going to have human face #7 and hairstyle #1. You can easily confirm this by changing your hairstyle and then zoning in. Your face will be the same, while your hair will be different.
Breakfast Topic: What secondary character would you promote to a leading role? {WoW}
Dec 14th 2011 4:00PM Less that he has no issues and more that he deliberately works past them. In some ways I see him as the ghetto kid who walks past the drug dealers and gangs every morning on his way to school, NOT because he doesn't have an excuse to wallow, but because he is darn well going to make something of himself.

After two decades as a Rhode Island State Police trooper, Claire Demarais retired last year ready for a fresh look.
Sick of plain suits and loafers, she donated most of her work wear to charity and started dreaming about re-creating her wardrobe. She wanted to add an artsy feel to her sense of style and incorporate more feminine lines and colors.
But those plans were put on hold when Demarais was diagnosed with breast cancer. In March, she began seven months of treatment, including a lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiation.
Now cancer-free, Demarais, 49, responded to a call for applicants for our latest Providence Journal Makeover. "I graduated from radiation on Oct. 10 and would like nothing more than having you help me figure out how to re-create my look," she wrote in an email.
"I never would have done this a year ago," Demarais said when she arrived at our office to take a "before" photo. But she no longer "sweats the small stuff," she said, or worries about what other people might think of her.
Just starting to grow back the hair she lost during treatment, Demarais said, "I look in the mirror now and I don't recognize myself."
Before, her hair was shoulder length and reddish-blonde. Now it's about a quarter of an inch long and light brown. She regularly wears makeup, but sticks to the same basic routine every day.
While Demarais concedes that she's not the stereotypical "total train wreck" makeover candidate, she wants to learn how to look more pulled together than she currently does in her usual jeans and T-shirt.
"Every day, I look like I'm going to the grocery store and running errands, which isn't bad, but I want a step up," the Cumberland resident said.
'Ready to get back out there'
After the photo, Demarais began the makeover process by meeting her wardrobe expert, personal stylist Jill Marinelli. "Most of the women who come to me feel, like Claire, that they're in some kind of a rut," Marinelli said.
During their consultation, Marinelli took her measurements and made recommendations for her body type, between an hourglass and triangle shape. As Demarais is a little fuller on the bottom part of her body, Marinelli suggested dressing techniques to focus the eye upward.
"When you are this shape, you always want to try to visually broaden the top of your body," she said. "You could do that with a huge collar or a boat neck or horizontal stripes. And wider leg jeans will be more flattering for someone with a fuller hip."
Rather than buying several trendy or sale items, Marinelli advised Demarais to invest in fewer, higher quality pieces. And she encouraged her to add the touch of artsy flair she's been looking for by experimenting with bold costume jewelry such as large hoop earrings — which would look great with her cropped hair — belts and statement necklaces.
Next, they headed to Macy's in Providence Place mall to put together an outfit for Demarais to wear to a holiday party. "We're planning on being pretty social this year," said Demarais, who is married and has a 10-year-old daughter, Madeleine. "During my treatment, we stayed close to home, but now I'm ready to get back out there."
Demarais walked into the dressing room with 10 garments, including A-line, color-blocked and wrap dresses. Marinelli chose rich shades, including aqua blue, deep purple and red. She encouraged Demarais to avoid her typical black, saying the harshness of the color often makes women look older than they are.
They ended up selecting a royal purple knee-length dress, which Macy's gave to Demarais. "The dress is pretty simple but it really flatters her body because it comes in at the waist and it widens her neckline every so slightly to balance out a fuller hip," Marinelli said.
The color — a departure from Demarais' typical drab hues, but not too out-there — also brings out the color in her green eyes.
"So, what would you wear with this?" Demarais asked. "Do women still wear pantyhose?"
"Not if you can help it," Marinelli replied. "If it's cold, do an opaque tight or maybe a nude fishnet. Otherwise, go bare. I like a bare leg, personally."
Then they walked over to the shoe department to find a pair of heels, also donated by Macy's.
After years of wearing loafers, Demarais said she had no idea how to walk in heels. So Marinelli gave her an impromptu lesson between the shoe displays. She demonstrated how to walk, advising her to make sure her posture was straight and think "heel-toe, heel-toe."
Marinelli suggested a few shoe options, including a nude pump to lengthen the look of the leg and a leopard heel to add a pop of pattern. After trying on a several styles, they opted for a pair of black leather pumps with a built-in platform. "I suggested a platform under the ball of the foot because it makes any heel easier to walk in," Marinelli said. "It reduces the arch that your foot is at."
A boost in self-confidence
Then it was time to go to Providence's Vis a Vis Hair Design for hair and makeup.
"I always do the same thing and I don't really know how to do party makeup," Demarais told her makeup artist, Kirsten Brusse of Joli Visage Makeup Artistry.
Brusse started with her eyes, showing her how to use the tightlining technique of applying liner up against the lash line. "She has such wonderful green eyes and her dress is plum, so I decided to do a plum smoky eye to really make them pop," Brusse said.
Looking to create a dewy glow, she then applied a tinted moisturizer with luminescence and a little foundation to even out Demarais' skin tone.
Then she added bronzer to contour the cheekbones and blush to bring more color to the apples of her cheeks. Brusse kept her lips pared down, applying a neutral pink shade.
"I love how my eyes look," Demarais said. "I'll definitely try the liner at home."
She then sat down in Vis a Vis owner Michelle Skrobish's chair to talk hair. Demarias described the despair she felt when her hair began falling out in clumps, and shared how her husband and daughter helped her shave it off.
Demarais, who covered her bald head with a scarf for several months, said she's been glad to see her hair start to grow back over the last few weeks. But she was not pleased with its color or length.
Skrobish used a semi-permanent glaze to brighten her locks to a dark golden blonde. "It's not blonde-blonde, but it brought it up a couple levels," the hair stylist said.
She then trimmed her hair slightly to give it a more even shape. "Michelle gave me some great advice on how to grow my hair out," Demarais said. "She told me it's going to take awhile, but at least I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel."
Overall, the makeover process was a big confidence builder, Demarais said.
Before leaving the salon, she called her husband, Stephan, to ask him to make last-minute dinner reservations. "Believe me, when you see me, you're going to want to take me out," she said.
At one point this summer, Demarais told him she was "sick of being me."
"So I think he'll be happy to see me having a really good day," she said.

A lot of people, myself included, simply don't have the time to watch all the movies and tv shows they'd like to immediately. On top of all the shows currently airing that I watch, there's plenty that I've been meaning to check out, such as The Wire, Burn Notice, and even Battlestar Galactica.Originally Posted by morningbus
When does it become the responsibility of the other person? Can I not bring up Aeris' death either?
Now sure, some things have been so completely spoiled as to become common knowledge, such as the spoiler I quoted above (although FYI, a proper spoiler should have some indication of its contents outside the tags, like "Can I not bring up (FFVII spoiler) Aeris' Death, either?"). The most common example along those lines is Citizen Kane. It's pretty much a given that most people know what Rosebud is, even if they haven't seen the movie.
There is no responsibility that falls on the "other person" in this case, it falls entirely on the poster to use spoiler tags responsibly.

In Australia we are hearing terrible things about this storm that is bearing down on the east coast of America.
Stay safe everyone. TAKE CARE! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sho-nuff try to. Pulled in 3 bushels of corn yesterday so we probably won't starve to death. |
Put on fresh manties for the ride... |
We are battened down, here in the woods in north central Maryland. Watching the tree tops, the wind is starting to pick up, the rain has been steady since yesterday afternoon and getting heavier by the hour. We have food, toilet paper, gas for the generator, batteries, buckets of water for when the power goes out and we have no water. And lots of candy for Halloween, so we won't starve! |
Holding you all in my thoughts! Take great care. |
Being injured by falling branches is easily the highest risk. Nevertheless the urge to go out for a walk in stormy conditions is always high as well..... |
Take any necessary precautions, and just stay safe. Good karma to everyone... |
Please stay safe everyone. I hope everyone comes through safe and healthy. Thinking of you all. |
Just got home. The wind on the highway was bad and I kept swerving. |

Stay safe Elly. And do check in to let us know. |
elly - I guess that means you went to work? Do they expect you to go in tomorrow also? My office was shut down today and will be tomorrow too if mass transit is still not running (we already know NJ Transit will not be running). It's getting ugly here. Stay safe! |
Power was out for a half hour just now. Gusts occasionally up to around 60. maybe a little more. Not too bad so far. |
Hey Pam there's a crane dangling 65 stories up on 57 street! It's on the same block where you were staying on last time you were here! |
- Posted by epiphyticlvr 10 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 29, 12 at 17:07
Glad you are safe Elly. |
Watching the crane on TV now. Why did they leave that thing up there when they knew this storm was coming for days??? |
- Posted by youngquinn VIC Aust (My Page) on Mon, Oct 29, 12 at 17:40
well Im sure glad Im not staying there tonight Joe! They estimate that the worst will hit in around 3 hours (8pm New York time?)SO its not over yet. They are showing pictures of New York with empty streets. it looks so strange. |
Thanks, everyone. I am not going in tomorrow. |
There are numerous cranes all over the tops of construction here they rise as the building rises & unless it was mandatory to take them down then companies wouldn't undergo the costs of removal & then restoration of a crane. That things hanging on by a thread when finished it will look like this |
I just spoke with a very dear friend on the east coast, and so far they're alright... high winds, gusts, and rains, but nothing too horrible. They still have power, and there's no flooding to speak of. I hope it stays that way for them. I was worried, so I had to call. |

ALL you folks from Maryland to Cape Cod, stay safe, and don't take any stupid chances!! NO job is worth risking your life. |
My friend's mom's house has 1 ft of water. So Jersey. Stay safe everyone. |

yeah thinking of you and wishing all in sandys path good luck to ride this out. We are hearing that the next 6 hours will be the worst for those around New York. my thoughts and good wishes are with you |
I just heard that the subways are completely flooded. A four-story building facade has fallen down; the front is gone. These were expensive apartments apparently. Also it appears it's not the only one. We're watching the storm news constantly. It just keeps getting worse and worse. I had to shut the TV off twice today because I was getting so stressed. I hope everyone is being very careful. One person has already been killed by a falling tree. Please stay inside! |

Don I must apologise.I just watched the news now and you are correct , it is still hanging.Must have gotten it confused with the partial building collapse . As I was passing through the room I saw Pics of the crane and , it looked like it was on the street. I should have waitied until I could check before posting. |

Grabbed the first links Google brought up -- CBS News and the Tribune. Death toll is at 80 - 66 in the Carribean 14 in the US. |
The wind practically stopped dead around 6pm here yesterday. I guess the storm went suddenly and unexpectedly west. Western PA, how ya doing? Power has been out here since about 4pm, but indications are that it is from localized problems so will likely be back soon. Storm surge at high tides was unprecedented probably in many decades. |
BTW, I'm logged on through someone's phone. Pretty amazing. |
We escaped with less rain and less wind than I get in a bad storm in the Spring. I hope those effected get power and get back to normal fast. You are all in my prayers. |
Hi everyone! We lost power in central NJ last night at 6:30pm. It came back about 10:30am this morning. Text form my town said the entire town was without power. There wasn't nearly as much rain as I expected. Wind was scary, though. Looking around this morning, trees down all around me. Neighbors on both sides of me and across the street have downed trees. One neighbor's fence taken out. We were very very lucky. Lots of tree limbs around but no trees down. Text from my town this morning said almost all roads are impassable. Major roads through town are closed completely. Travel ban in effect. Looks like the NJ shore and especially barrier islands were hit unbelievably hard. Gov. Christie said in his news conference this morning that he will be taking helicopter ride to assess damage but there is no place to land helicopter on the barrier islands due to devastation. There were houses on Rt 35. Crazy! I know that lower Manhattan is still without power. Hoping everyone else is ok! |
Thanks Youngquinn, we came through ok here in Va, no power lost like when Isabel & Irene went thru. Once the rain stops I estimate just 4 inches of rain which is good since we have a semi drought going on. Sorry for you up north of here, really terrible looking in so many areas. |
I absolutely cannot believe we came thru this ...as of now. We had half a foot of rain and winds beyond belief gusting to 70mph, and so far have not lost power at all, We have some branches down, husband said the koi are okay and there's debris everywhere. When I went to bed last night after getting two hours of sleep the night before, I thought the power would surely go. Daughter didn't lose either,son did. Millions here did.The third largest power in history, I don't think the storm is over because it's still raining but no wind right now. That happened before too so not sure we're out of the woods. I just sobbed today when I saw the devastation at my beloved Jersey shore and the tragedy of NYC. |
- Posted by epiphyticlvr 10 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 30, 12 at 12:19
NYC is a mess but as always still going. I just took a tour of the neighborhood and I have never seen anything like it. We lost power at 8:30 pm and we don't know when it will be restored. Kudos to all the NY'ers who were out in this helping their neighbors including helping evacuate NYU MEdical Center and parts of Bellevue when their power went out and because of the water the backup generators were useless. Once again, they showed how wonderful the people in this city are. |

Lily: How are the koi doing? |
JZ...since it's still raining hard , I have not been up to the pond yet, but Husband was and said they're okay. Their waterfall was still running. They have debris in the ponds but that they can handle..Thanks for asking. It's very small potatoes knowing the horrible things others are going thru. My heart goes out to all those in coastal places and NYC. |
Lilly, It may be small potatoes on a whole of the disaster but in your life it is not small. I am happy they are doing good. |
Good to hear the storm was anti-climactic for so many. |
- Posted by sleeplessinftwayne z4-5 IND (My Page) on Tue, Oct 30, 12 at 14:57
Lily, be sure to test the water soon and do several water changes in the next weeks. When we got the tail wind storms from Katrina and the big one after that we got contamination from whatever the storms traveled over. You could easily have contamination from oil, fertilizer, herbicides and insecticides. even plant diseases. Flooding to get rid of what may float to the top is a good idea too. That is not to say that it will happen to the pond, it is just a possibility. But it did happen here and I lost quite a few fish in the days after the storms because I didn't know soon enough. Crops lakes and ponds here were affected all over this part of Indiana. |
It's good to hear back from so many of you and that in some cases the situation was not as bad as you had feared. The coastal areas seem to have been the hardest hit and it's sad to see the devastation, not to mention a whole housing tract that burned down. Apparently many firemen lived there and were unable to save their homes since there was no water source to hook their hoses to. I gather no one has heard from labrea. No telling when the power will come on in his area. I hope he's okay. |
- Posted by maddie_athome (My Page) on Wed, Oct 31, 12 at 1:38
No Maggie, no Joe. Hoping it's just power outage. |
I just checked with my co-worker who lives on east side in Manhattan. Still no power. He walked to the office today. So, Joe probably still has no power. Where is Maggie? Long Island? Last I remember from her the water was rising. Hope she's ok! |
I am worried about Elly. |
- Posted by epiphyticlvr 10 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 31, 12 at 13:35
Just popping on her after a quick recharge of the laptop uptown. Still no power beneath 40th Street so Joe does not have power either. They say a few more days to another week. It's a mess here but everyone is doing what they can to help. Business uptown are allowing people to recharge in their lobbies and even Chase bank is helping people as well. There are many sick and elderly who need assistance who are stuck in their homes without water, electric or food. DH and DS and our manintenence men just carried a 90 year old neighbor down 15 flights so her son could take her to NJ. Off to save power on the laptop for later. |
- Posted by maddie_athome (My Page) on Wed, Oct 31, 12 at 13:46
Hang in there. Cleanup will take some time. Elly, KWoods, Joe (and EDD!) and Maggie. Here's hoping it's just the lack of power. |
- Posted by epiphyticlvr 10 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 31, 12 at 14:00
Here's hoping it's just the lack of power. Now that gets an amen. I don't have Joe's contact info otherwise I would call him - I sent him an email. If he pops on I hope he knows if he needs anything he should contact me. I am sure that they are ok (hoping EDD is!)and it is just lack of power for them. As for Maggie Kwoods and others on LI, I am a bit more concerned. Maddie and others who posted their concern....THANKS! It is much appreciated. I came on here as a distraction, now back to reality. Now where's the flashlight???? |
- Posted by jerzeegirl 9 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 31, 12 at 14:26
My daughter in in northern NJ and she has no power. She was told she will not have power restored until November 5! |
- Posted by nancy_in_venice_ca SS24 z10 CA (My Page) on Wed, Oct 31, 12 at 14:32
Epi, good to hear from you! Stay safe and hope power is restored soon. |
I am so concerned about those with no power. I was just out picking up all the dead branches around our yard. It's still lightly raining and RAW!!! We were prepared for outages because they said millions in PA would be and it would be a week or more. Many thousands were out and power was restored to some already, but it was nothing compared to NY and NJ. I still can't believe it since the eye was directly over us for almost a full day. We just realized we have an enormous white pine tree decidedly leaning left(the only way to lean) and it's stable but who knows. Husband said at the golf course they have a lot that lean and grow that way. It's protected which is why it didn't topple. I am still sick to my stomach about the Jersey Shore. A lifetime of memories gone forever. My grand-kids will never know them. |
- Posted by maddie_athome (My Page) on Thu, Nov 1, 12 at 6:47
Go NuuYaawkers!! Wish we could make this sticky...until all have checked in. |
Thanks epi for the update you were able to give, I too am very concerned for all our east coast friends ... and am keeping them in my thoughts and prayers. |
It's all just so sad for NJ and New York. My eyes fill with tears every time I watch the news. |
- Posted by maddie_athome (My Page) on Fri, Nov 2, 12 at 4:57
It is what it is. Besides the devastation, death toll now is at 76 for the US. No sign of Elly, nor Maggie & Kwoods. But Long Island still is without power, so... |

June 28, 2011
Jefferson City, Mo. – Attorney General Chris Koster said today, in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Agriculture, has obtained a temporary restraining order against Linda Brisco of Monett for violations of the Animal Care Facilities Act and the Canine Cruelty Prevention Act.
The lawsuit marks the first case in which Koster is able to use the force and effect of S.B. 161, sometimes referred to as the Missouri Solution Bill, which was enacted by the General Assembly this April as an amendment to Proposition B.
Koster said Brisco owns Moser Kennel, a commercial breeder facility located in Monett. Missouri Department of Agriculture inspections uncovered numerous violations of the law, including that Brisco:
In addition, Brisco routinely used gunshot as a means of euthanasia, also in violation of the law.
Koster said the court issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting Brisco from operating her breeding facility in violation of state law and requiring Brisco to allow Missouri Department of Agriculture employees to inspect her dogs and puppies in preparation for the trial. Koster is seeking a permanent order requiring her to shut down and pay court costs and civil penalties for past violations.
S.B.161 gives Koster expanded enforcement authority for commercial breeders who fail to abide by the tougher standards imposed by Missouri citizens through Proposition B.
"We have an obligation to protect the wellbeing of animals, and Missouri has recognized that obligation by passing laws outlining acceptable standards for pet breeders and commercial pet dealers," Koster said. "This office will diligently continue to see that those laws are enforced."

The Story of a Woman on the Morning of a War
Shrapnel: Aristeia Rising is a rich and complex work teasing out the personal price paid by soldiers set on the stage of grand ideological battles for liberty and against the backdrop of deep drama of military tactics. There couldn't be a better choice than Hilary Swank for the just-announced upcoming movie.

Pride and Prejudice
Clinging to the dictum "The personal is political", and shunning such pesky realities as promiscuity, illness and civil rights, the progenitors of this Cinema Pride DVD have opted to focus simply on storytelling and character development.

Boys Don't Cry (1999)
As the charismatic protagonist in Kimberly Peirce's Boys Don't Cry, Brandon embodies the ongoing dilemma of masculine identity. This dilemma is exacerbated by the fact that, when you see him riding that pickup truck, some fifteen minutes into the film, you already know that 18-year-old Brandon's efforts to act like a boy are complicated by the fact that he is, biologically speaking, a girl, born Teena Brandon.

I am looking for plans to make an apple/pear/potato storage container. I would like one that is rat proof so I could put it into our unheated barn. Any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Storage in an unheated barn would be far too cold I would think. Does it get below 40 degrees F in there in the winter? Ideal storage is cool (not cold) and dry with good air circulation. If you Google 'potato storage bin plans' lots of different plans come up and most are free. Dave |
dotty, I see you're in zone 8b. As Dave mentioned, cold storage is still above freezing. We used to just wrap apples in newspaper and store them in boxes in the root cellar, but potatoes actually store best in sand, IMO. Any kind of a box where you could bury the potatoes in sand and keep them from reaching freezing temperatures would be good. Apples and pears are better packed in something like straw, if you're going to do them in containers. Wooden shipping boxes work nicely, but again, it depends on your temperature. An old barn? I don't suppose you have a bunch of hay or straw bales in there? You could sink clean garbage cans into the hay/straw for insulation, then use them to pack your produce, maybe. Cheap, readily available and easily accessed... Annie |

Thanks for the responses. Digdirt, it seldom drops below 40F here. If it did, I could use a small heater to keep it from freezing. It is very rainy in the wintertime with lots of humidity of course, so air movement is crucial. I've got my DH checking out the googled designs. Annie, I like your idea of newspaper wrapped apples. The paper would help with the humidity. I've still got some thinking to do.... |

District elections: Is a city divided stronger or weaker?
An initiative on this year's ballot would make fundamental changes, for better or worse, in the longstanding way that Seattle elects city council members.
If voters approve Charter Amendment 19 this November, then beginning in 2015 seven of nine council members would be elected in district-based elections, while the remaining two council members would be elected "at large" by voters across the city. Under Seattle's current system, voters choose all nine council members in citywide elections. Each of the proposed districts has about 88,000 residents.
The campaign supporting the initiative is mostly financed by a north Seattle commercial real estate owner, but is also backed by a prominent low-income housing advocate. And although a geographer who has worked to fix gerrymandered and racially biased district boundaries in other states drew the map for Charter Amendment 19, a progressive group with concerns about minority representation in city elections has reacted coolly toward the proposal.
Supporters of the district plan say it will make council members more accountable to voters, while also enabling them to know their constituents' concerns in detail. And they say that reducing the number of constituents a council member represents will lower campaign costs, leveling the playing field for underfunded grassroots candidates.
Opponents question the need for the change and worry that councilmembers elected by district would put their constituents' priorities in front of citywide needs. And they say that the power of incumbency could become even stronger with district elections, pointing to the lack of turnover in recent years on the King County Council where all seats are filled by district.
The only other cities, among the 50 largest in the U.S., that do not elect at least some of their council members by district are Portland, Oregon and Columbus, Ohio.
Seattle's at large council election system grew, in part, out of populist era reforms in the early 1900s and a desire to restrain partisan politics. District election opponents are quick to cite examples of the bad old days of political machines and ward politics in cities like Chicago. But recent research has shown that district systems tend to improve minority representation in city governments and may be less prone to political chicanery than once thought. Those outcomes, however, can vary between cities and also depend largely on how district boundaries are drawn.
Faye Garneau, a commercial real estate owner, has provided the lion's share of the money for Seattle Districts Now, the group pushing for Charter Amendment 19. Garneau provided $232,446 of the group's $254,814 in total contributions, according to campaign finance reports filed on Oct. 16. The group opposing the measure, Choices Not Districts, has reported $967 of contributions.
Garneau, who is also president of the Aurora Avenue Merchants Association, is a lifelong Seattle resident and says she grew up in "Garlic Gulch" — an old nickname for a once heavily Italian community in south Seattle's Rainier Valley. She says council members are overwhelmed trying to represent the entire city and don't know enough about neighborhood-level problems. "They're so overburdened with minutia, they stay downtown where they're comfortable in their offices," she says. "For a council member who's now serving 600,000 people, for them to know the needs of every little neighborhood and community group in the city is pretty darn difficult."
Charles Blagley, a retired doctor, who has lived in Queen Anne for 40-years, opposes Charter Amendment 19. On a Tuesday night in mid-October, he was at the City Club's One Stop Ballot Shop at Seattle Center, handing out photocopied flyers that outlined Choices Not Districts' critique of the measure. "It divides the city from one city into seven different districts," Blagley says. He adds that a district election system would cause members to approach the council's business from the perspective of: "What's in it for my district? What's in it for me?"
A 2012 study that examined 47,000 city council votes over a seven-year period in Los Angeles, found that this wasn't the case, at least among that city's council members. Instead, researchers concluded that a "district-based electoral system does not always incentivize elected officials to ignore the larger concerns of their polity when creating policy."

This change would amount to nothing more than putting lipstick on a pig.
Indeed, why should the legislative body of Seattle even be comprised of directly-elected and accountable people? The trend around here is to do away with voting for and against municipal legislators – it seems to be an antique notion.
The Seattle Popular Monorail Authority had an appointive board. Sound Transit has an appointive board. That is the wave of the future, right?
Ask the government heads (none of whom are quoted in this piece). They know this whole concept of local elections is misguided. It in fact goes against their more current approaches to determining how municipal policy-setters get in to office.
Why not just let the King County Executive appoint all of Seattle's councilmembers? That would be better in our fast-paced modern world. The King County Executive already appoints more than half of Sound Transit's boardmembers. Why shouldn't he (or she) appoint people to the Seattle city council as well?
The city council's powers are set out in state law, as are the powers of Sound Transit's board. Moreover, Seattle's councilmembers just administer and set new legal policies – that's exactly what Sound Transit's boardmembers do.
We should get rid of peoples' power to vote for and against city legislators. The state legislature saw fit to ensure a supermajority of Sound Transit's boardmembers always would be political appointees. Everybody at Crosscut thinks Sound Transit is awesome. That's what Seattle should have as well – legislators who are political appointees!

"The Seattle Popular Monorail Authority had an appointive board." Yes, for 7 out of 9; 2 were elected.
"We should get rid of peoples' power to vote..." Are you serious? You are proposing total abandonment of our democracy to oligarchy.
Posted Sat, Oct 26, 4:24 p.m.
You missed the "dry", "rye", "ironic", "sarcasm" of the comment.
The only serious point is that made by the commenter was the compare and contrast angle of what was written by Cross-rip. Louploup, you are rightly appauled by an unrepresentative appointed taxing and policy government for Seattle. Why not the same outrage at Sound Transit or the (now defunct) Seattle Popular Monorail Authority. The Seattle electorate is not consistent.
Posted Mon, Oct 28, 4:24 p.m.
I don't like the unaccountable nature of ST, but I stopped reading crossrip's endless posts on the matter long ago. I have not focused my energy on advocacy for or against ST; I'm not in a position to do much about it. If you go to http://crosscut.com/2013/10/28/elections/117154/seattle-elections-council-district-light-rail/ and read my Mon, Oct 28, 2:44 p.m. comment you'll know some of the reasons why I'm not. Currently I'm focused on changing the system enough to get some city council members elected in Seattle who can articulate the questions I pose there articulately, loudly, and repeatedly. Making all public agencies as transparent and accountable as possible is one of my goals. But I'm just one activist.
I do not believe the monorail authority was an inherently bad project (I voted for it), nor do I believe rail transit is an inherently bad way to move people around. I don't care what technology we use so long as it's a system that works and is affordable is put into place. (It doesn't help that we have the single worst tax structure in the U.S., with Eyman as topping.) In the meantime, I live in Fremont and see a dysfunctional mass transit system for the entire area NW of me (it's fair to OK in some directions from Fremont), and have to live with a bike system that really sucks in many ways (although signs of improvement are in the air--I'm off soon to the 5 - 7 open house on Westlake Track at BF Day).
I was conscious of crossrip's irony, but ignored it; it seems to me to be an ineffective debating strategy to mix irony with straight ahead argument. One or the other at a time please.
Posted Sun, Oct 27, 9:07 a.m.
Can't blame "the electorate" for Sound Transit -- the abusive financing plan that oligarchy would impose wasn't disclosed before the vote on the ST2 proposition. Moreover, its material terms remain hidden deep in the silo.
This "blame the voters" meme is smokescreen no. 1 Sound Transit's apologists deploy.
Posted Fri, Oct 25, 11:32 a.m.

You say that as if it would be a bad thing. Sound Transit 100% is an oligarchy, and everyone here couldn't be happier with it.
Posted Fri, Oct 25, 1:11 p.m.
Bad or not, it would certainly be contrary to the form of government envisioned by the U.S. and state constitutions. IMO, oligarchic governance is anti-democratic and should be rectified whenever and wherever possible.

I agree. As is Knute's story today that describes the election of a slew of neighborhood-oriented councilmembers, which in Seattle's history has happened more than once— the time Knute writes of, the newly elected stood on neighborhood shoulders and created the Seattle P-Patch.
I too was offended when on orders I called long ago to lobby a KC councilmember and the person answering the phone asked if I was a "constituent." On the other hand, at another time and on a different mission, I had no trouble getting an appointment with a KC councilmember even though a non-constituent.
Nevertheless, in my extended period of naivete´when I voted solely by name familarlity, I too thought city-wide representation an "advance" over east-coast style wards and even argued against districts even in the midst of losing that naivete.´ As I recall, Jim Street likes to think of himself as the Father of District Neighborhood Councils, so even during his time the disparity was apparent between a Seattle constituent and that of all of its surrounding cities and towns—many of which have less population than my Seattle neighborhood. I agree with John Fox about Street's chances today, also those of Virginia Galle, Sherry Harris (a northend minority) or Charlie Chong (a West Seattle minority). Interesting too how the neighborhood-oriented who lost subsequent elections were removed from office.
In contrast, we have the history of our current Attorney General, who started a political career on his success at doorbelling the bulk of his district. The AG before him too, for all that I know, at least he had that means available.
Time to take a reasonable chance on a change for the better.

Crossrip, Seattle is a separate political subdivision than King County. Having King County appoint Seattle's council members makes about as much sense as letting Congress appoint governors and state legislators.
I think geographic representation is a great idea. It lets the neighborhoods work together to keep from being the dumping ground for the city's social problems or to ensure more equitable distribution of bike lanes and park improvements.

I truly don't understand the point you are trying to make here. Sound Transit is a municipality that is completely independent of King County, and the King County Executive appoints over half of the individuals comprising Sound Transit's board. I'm sure you're not arguing Sound Transit's board should be directly-elected.
Everybody reading Crosscut thinks Sound Transit's appointive-board structure is beyond excellent. Sound Transit's board was set up that way by no less than Gary Locke, Maria Cantwell, Dwight Peltz and a number of other democratic luminaries -- they were the sponsors of the 1992 regional transit authority enabling legislation bill. With a pedigree like that and what we've seen out of Sound Transit's board, it's obvious Seattle's legislature should evolve and become like Sound Transit's (an appointive board, controlled by appointees of the King County Executive). We could have a "success breeding success" situation.
Posted Fri, Oct 25, 11:39 a.m.
If what you are saying is representative government doesn't work we get it in spades! Perhaps we should do away with County, State and Federal districts, too. I mean, what the heck...
Posted Fri, Oct 25, 1:16 p.m.
I voted for districts, but I have very low expectations. The problems here are not so much with government form, but with a lazy media and a distracted, uninvolved, uninformed electorate. The corrupt "progressives" who run the show in these parts play the system like a fiddle, which makes sense seeing as how they created it.
So, we'll have districts, but the city council is still going to be hand picked, bought, and paid for by the same insiders who own the current group.
Posted Sat, Oct 26, 4:39 p.m.
Notfan, I disagree. This electorate votes to tax themselves liberally for affordable housing, families and eduction, libraries (this should be funded from general tax revenue, not a special levy, and prioritized against everything else), public schools (no matter how poor the results with the dollare already provided this electorate wants to provide more money so they can get the same poor results on a grander scale), and transportation (see libraries). I don't think a single precinct in Seattle has gone for a Republican for President since George H.W. Bush (41 not 43).
This electorate is getting exactly what they want and value in Seattle elected officials. It is not a "progressive elite" running roughshood over an electorate with different priorities, but that is disengaged. It is a group of elected officials reflecting a post-modern, progressive, liberal electorate. You would be hard-pressed to produce a poll of City of Seattle Residents that diverges from the preferences of the their elected officials.
I disagree with many of the policies and decisions in this City, but I acknowledge that they reflect the views of my fellow citizens pretty well. It is not a problem of the out of touch politicians in this town, but the people who elect them.
Posted Sat, Nov 2, 11:13 p.m.
I find it hard to disagree, although I'd suggest there's more "disengagement" than true congruence of views.
Posted Sun, Oct 27, 9:19 a.m.
Why look -- same screen name, same lame dissembling meme.
The blame for the abusive state/local taxing regime centered in Seattle does not lie with "the electorate", nor do our "fellow citizens" deserve the excessive regressive taxing the government heads impose here.
Likewise, the votes on transportation issues -- particularly the propositions Sound Transit's board promulgates -- in no way amount to people taxing themselves. The abusive financing plan wasn't disclosed before the vote on the ST2 proposition and its material terms remain hidden deep in the silo.
As noted above, this "blame the voters" meme is smokescreen no. 1 Sound Transit's apologists deploy. We now are treated here to their second-favorite dissembling propaganda line in the above posting as well. That municipality's propagandists like to insinuate that the abusive, excessive taxing scheme Sound Transit's appointive board is putting into place is as modest as the property tax hikes for libraries or the SHA. In fact it is orders of magnitude worse for individuals and households of modest means, and unlike those other measures the Sound Transit regressive tax confiscations are to last for decades.
Whoever is behind this "realpolitik" screen name is a real piece of work . . ..
Posted Sun, Oct 27, 1:25 p.m.
... and yet the voters of Seattle vote for the very politicians that support these polices. The politicians that don't support such policies, don't survive the primary. The ACTIONS of Seattle voters betray their prioriites (which I often find myself in disagreement with).
It is no accident that there is no daylight between Murray and McGinn on matters of policy substance and that the compaign is being fought on who has the best "style". It is so because that is what Seattle voters chose and continue to choose(much to my dislike).
Posted Sun, Oct 27, 4:57 p.m.
and yet the voters of Seattle vote for the very politicians that support these polices.
There it is again: improperly blaming voters. The "voters of Seattle" are not responsible for the local laws -- including the tax imposition laws -- Sound Transit's board sets. Seattle voters didn't vote them on to that board.
Everyone gets this, right? The propagandist tries to deflect blame and attribute Sound Transit's policies to Seattle voters despite the fact that neither they nor any other group of voters are responsible for either the composition of that board or how it wields its heavy regressive taxing powers.
Posted Mon, Oct 28, 6:56 a.m.
.. As far as Olympia has gone with public policy, poll after poll shows Seattle Voters would like to go farther. The Seattle legislators from wholy in Seattle Districts were some of the leaders in voting for Sound Transit as it today and writing the legislation that sets its governing structure. Nothing gets a vote in the House unless Frank Chopp allows it. The same was true of Murray and the Senate until recently. The voters of Seattle often want to tax and regulate beyond what the RCW allows.
As several Crosscut writers have noted, they want a liberal utopia. They have high trust in elected and un-elected officials to do the "right" thing.
So how can you not blame the voters of Seattle? The politicians they elect back the policies you rail against and when there is an opportunity to replace them, you get an ideological twin that wants more un-elected people to do more studies and planning and then implement some utopian Bike, Transit, Homeless-ending, violence stopping plan based on "best practices".
The fact that we don't replace them with something different says it all. "If you choose not to choose, you still have made a choice." - Rush

Olympia gave us the Seattle Popular Monorail Authority, and once the public became aware of its abusive financing plan we didn't want it "going further", we shot it down.

We have stained concrete floors throughout the house (except for MB which has wood floors). They came with the house, except for the three bedrooms that had carpet.
The original floors were done in 1991 and required waxing once a year. I hated the wax. It always left brown marks on socks and everything else. Plus, we were told not to clean the floors with water, just dust-mop it. We tried but it just did not feel clean - and was not. We had two small bedrooms scored and stained ~4 years ago. They have a clear finish that can be mopped. I have been told by two contractors that we could re-finish all other concrete floors in the house so they would not require waxing and could be wet-mopped. But IDK if I believe it as I cannot find any info. Do you know if it is possible and is a good idea? TIA! |
Follow-Up Postings:
We are currently building slab on grade and have also scored the concrete to look like tile. We did not acid stain it, but dyed it (no reaction with the concrete and looks a little more consistent to us...as well as being easier to do I think). To seal it we were given J25 sealer (http://www.maycomix.com/downloads/J-25-sealer.pdf). Not sure if it can be applied over wax, but I think it is supposed to be a decent sealer and may give you a place to start asking questions. This will need to be done every 2-3 years based on wear. Did you seal your score lines in the bedrooms? We used a special blade to cut 4x4' "tiles" and now I am wondering if we should fill the score lines with something so they don't collect crumbs, dirt, etc. Any thoughts on that? |

Eye Care & Exams
20/20 vision does not always mean healthy eyes. Many eye diseases exist which do not affect distance or near vision. Because of these "silent" diseases, it is important to have complete dilated eye exams.
Eye exams start by taking a thorough history. It is important for the doctor to be aware of all systemic illnesses, ex: diabetes, as well as any medications used. Different systemic illnesses can affect the eyes in different ways. Certain medications including plaquenil and interferon make it necessary to have regular exams due to the potential side effects.
After the history, we often will assess the patient's need for glasses, if any. This is done behind a machine called a phoropter. The patient is often asked "1 or 2" to help to refine the prescription. Many patients worry that they are giving wrong answers. Please don't worry about that. We will double check and often triple-check many of the lenses to make sure we are giving you the best eyeglasses possible.
After the refraction is performed, we check eye pressure. Eye pressure is often associated with glaucoma. People may have higher than normal eye pressure and not be aware of it. It is something that cannot be felt. At Maryland Vision Institute, we do no use the "air puff" to check pressures. Rather perform applanation tonometry, which is the gold standard and the instrument used for glaucoma research.
Dilated drops are then place in each eye. Dilated drops are used to enlarge the pupil the give the doctors unobstructed view into the eye. With the dilation, the doctors are able to check for cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other retinal issues. Having an unobstructed view is the best way to determine subtle changes that may be present inside the eye. Sunglasses are helpful to use after the exam is over to reduce the amount of glare caused by having your pupils dilated.

The Left Handed Gun is a 1958 American western film and the film directorial debut of Arthur Penn,[1] starring Paul Newman as Billy the Kid and John Dehner as Pat Garrett.
The screenplay was written by Leslie Stevens from a teleplay by Gore Vidal, which he wrote for the television series The Philco-Goodyear Television Playhouse 1955 episode The Death of Billy the Kid, in which Newman also played the title character. Vidal revisited and revised the material in 1989 with a TV-movie entitled Billy the Kid. The title refers to the belief that Billy the Kid was left handed, and he shoots left handed in the film, though it is possible that this was a false conclusion drawn from a reversed photograph. The film attempts to portray Billy the Kid as a misunderstood youth who got mixed up in a cattle war and was dragged down by the hostile population of New Mexico.
Drifter William Bonney (Paul Newman), known as 'Billy the Kid' loses his horse and is befriended by cattle boss Tunstall, known as 'The Englishman', who is soon murdered by corrupt rival cattlemen led by the local sheriff. Bonney's plan for revenge, hunting down and killing all responsible via provoking gunfights endangers not only his surviving friends, but the territorial amnesty proclaimed by New Mexico governor Lew Wallace, causing his former friend Pat Garrett to finally become a sheriff and hunt him down. Meanwhile groupie Moultrie sends material fictionalizing and lionizing him back East, where it is turned into dime novels that make Billy the Kid a legend, causing Billy to confront Moultrie and throw his kit of materials in his face in rejection, ending in Moultrie betraying him to Garrett to eliminate the embarrassing real-life character so that his fictionalized version won't be disturbed. This leads to the finale where Garrett kills the exhausted discouraged Bonney after he faces him with an empty holster in an apparent attempt at "suicide by cop".[2]
The film was a flop in the United States, but was praised by French film critics for its bold experimentation with the stereotyped American Western genre. In 1961 it won the prestigious Grand Prix of the Belgian Film Critics Association.[3]

ModerNature revolves around the "seven outposts of slow beauty," from meditation, to self-expression, to "mindful consumption," and is inspired by the healing Turkish hammam environment. Social interaction is key, as evidenced by the prominent cold and hot lounges (with unique salt walls). Sustainability is also key: from the complex water conservation systems to the recycled building materials. Technology is integrated throughout: from web-based revenue management and booking, to the many iPads for spa-goers to use. A conceptual standout: the focus on employee engagement, with the second floor devoted entirely to employee well-being, and formal staff training ongoing.

The backers of the successful ballot proposal to constitutionally ban gay marriage did not get the occupations of the majority of those who contributed to the campaign despite a state law requiring them to gather that information.
But the state's top election official said Monday that the wording of the law allows them to get away with that. State elections director Joe Kanefield said they do not have to give back the donations that came without the required information or even to pay a fine.
A review of the public reports filed by the Yes for Marriage campaign shows occupations listed for only about one out of five contributors. The campaign managed to collect more than $7.7 million, mostly from individuals identified only by name and address.
By contrast, Arizona Together, the committee that collected nearly $750,000 for the campaign against Proposition 102, has occupations listed for virtually all of its contributors.
That difference resulted in a formal complaint filed against the campaign by Flagstaff resident Dan Frazier, a self-described "gay rights supporter." Frazier asked the Secretary of State's Office to investigate.
Kanefield said the law does require campaigns to get the information on occupations. And he said that, based on Frazier's complaint, Kanefield sent a letter to John LeSueur, treasurer of the Yes for Marriage campaign, asking for an explanation.
The response came in the form of several hundred pages of affidavits saying the information had been requested from the donors.
That request actually was the acknowledgement of contribution sent to each donor. On the bottom of each letter was a note, in small type, saying that if the contributor did not provide information about occupation, he or she "may do so" by sending an e-mail to a campaign address.
LeSueur did not return several calls seeking comment. But the committee never filed an amended report adding even a single address. Despite that, Kanefield said they are now in compliance with the law.
That law, he said, only requires a campaign to make its "best effort" to get the missing information. Kanefield said even the boilerplate language at the bottom of the acknowledgement of the donation meets that legal description.
Kanefield said his office does not normally review each of several hundred campaign finance reports it gets each year. He said the only reason he examined this one was because of Frazier's complaint.
Frazier had gained a name for himself as the producer and seller of anti-war T-shirts that have the names of more than 4,000 U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq.
The Legislature approved a measure last session aimed specifically at Frazier, making it a crime to use the names of soldiers to promote any products. But a federal judge blocked the state from enforcing that law, saying Frazier was exercising his First Amendment rights.

The new Insulfrax Thermal Insulation 1800 Blanket from Unifrax Corporation is said to not only provide thermal insulation at operating temperatures up to 1,832°F, but is safer and healthier than alternative products. The Insulfrax fiber chemistry has been combined with the company's proprietary fiber spinning technology to create a specialty high-temperature fiber that reportedly has superior thermal and mechanical properties when compared to other fiberglass blankets. The product's main application is insulation of self-cleaning ovens. The company's fiberglass blanket has no binders (binders typically contain outgassing byproducts) and was developed from a calcium/magnesium/silicate chemistry to produce a strong, lightweight, needled blanket that is said to have high-tensile strength and excellent resistance to thermal shock. The production of the insulation involves melting the material and depositing it on a series of rapidly rotating wheels. Through the use of this proprietary spinning process, specific fiber properties such as diameter and length—which maximize the tensile strength of the material—can be achieved. There are also said to be significant safety factors associated with using the fiberglass blanket. The company says Insulfrax is able to operate at continuous temperatures of more than 1,800°F, which is significantly above self-cleaning oven temperatures, proving cooking appliance OEMs with a high degree of safety. The blanket also has flame-spread and smoke-developed ratings of zero. Another safety feature is that the insulation's chemistry was specifically designed to be a high-temperature fiber blanket that was more soluble and meets European regulatory requirements (Directive 97/69/EC). A new classification of fibers called bio-soluble fibers—what Insulfrax is composed of—are designed to dissolve in lungs, should they be inhaled. This is important because the more soluble the fiber, the better it is for a user's health and safety. Additionally, the blanket can insulate the oven and pass the appropriate UL/CSA requirements with a thinner piece of insulation compared to most fiberglass insulation. This allows the oven manufacturer to have a larger inner oven capacity. Unifrax Corporation
