Earth Day traditions are a cornerstone for our spring. Over the years, I've noticed I favor gardening activities for this special day and this year, it's all about butterflies. I can't wait for them to return each spring, amazed at their delicate wings and beautiful colors. How I love the elementary school lessons that involve raising caterpillars into butterflies and the daily updates where children share their scientific observations. The anticipation of the butterflies' arrival is a highlight of the spring and the hands on learning and anticipation is what school should be all about. Now that my children are older, its all about enjoying these graceful creatures at home and to do that, you simply need to turn to your garden. Earth Day is a perfect time to start planting with butterflies in mind ~ check out my tips to get your started today!
To help your children understand the beauty and awe, take them to your local science museum to visit the Butterfly House. An indoor natural habitat, you'll find it full of species who aren't shy. In fact if you wear the right colors, you may find they take a rest on your shoulder or shirt. But remember its always look don't touch. The picture above was taken outside the Butterfly House that is part of the amazing Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. The amazing gardens and special exhibits like this make it my favorite time of year in Epcot.
Learn what species are native to where you live. I was amazed to learn there are 108 species of butterflies and moths that have been identified in my county and I now find myself eager to watch our garden with the goal of identifying and taking photos of as many as we can.
Once you know what butterflies are common to your area, its time to research the kinds of plants that will encourage them to visit your yard. Because I love perennials and aim for blooming color all year long, my yard is full of nectar plants like Butterfly Bush, Coneflower, Shasta Daisys and more. But my favorite host plant has to be Verbena. Planted near my office window among a host of other perennials, its a popular spot both for larvae and for grown butterflies to stop by.
Kids love to garden. From digging in the dirt to getting dirty, having the daily responsibility of caring for plants to the true reward of seeing things grow and bloom, gardening in our home has always been a win win.
Make Earth Day special by focusing on butterflies and how your yard can be a natural habitat to support many different species. If you really want to go the distance, consider a long term garden plan that will merit receiving a Certified Wildlife Habitat Designation from the National Wildlife Federation. You might be surprised to learn that many of the plants you already have are just begging to host butterflies in the garden. So tell me…
How will you celebrate Earth Day?
If you love to garden, you're probably a fan of Pinterest too. For some of my favorite ideas to highlight your garden, check out our Outdoor Living Ideas Pinterest Board to get you thinking about how you can make the most of your garden this spring. Thanks so much for stopping by ~ we'll see you next time!
Disclosure: This post was originally published as part of my role as a Friends Count Ambassador for Build-A-Bear Workshop. It included a giveaway for the incredibly cute limited edition Twinkle Butterfly. All opinions are entirely my own.
Earth Day is important to my family because it is the one day a year that we will be 100 percent dedicated to cleaning up our neighborhood and taking inventory on what we can do in our daily lives to improve our footprint on the world. It's hard to stop and really think about our impact when we are always so busy, but on Earth Day, there is no excuse for ignoring the message behind this very special day.
Earth Day is important to my family because my we use that day to share our message of decreasing our carbon footprint.
I tweeted! https://twitter.com/#!/tfr55309
Earth Day reminds those who forget that we have to respect the Earth. I'm glad that there are those that never forget, but it's a good kick in the pants for those that seem to busy otherwise to pay attention!
My tweet
I decided to comment on your Facebook fan page as well. Just look for a post from Jaclyn Z on 4/23. Happy Belated Earth Day!
Earth Day is important to my family because we respect our planet and try our best to always recycle and never waste. In addition, I have a personal reason it is special- it doubles as my life-long best friend's birthday. In junior high, she and I wrote an Earth Day poem together for science class, which I still read every year on 4/22 as a fun reminder of how important she and Mother Earth are to me.
Earth day is important to our family because it reminds us that we need to do our part more. We recycle as much as we can but there are other great ideas we can incorporate.
Everyday should be Earth Day, but Earth Day reminds us how much more we can do and how everyone can pitch in and do their part. Thanks for the chance.

Hi there, I posted a comment on your FB in reply to the link leading here.
And also Earth Day is important to my family because its a holiday celebrated internationally so even though we have different opinions on most issues its something we can all appreciate and agree on. Thanks

This is not an advert for a home shopping channel. And neither is Sudhir Mishra the brand ambassador of any cure-all product.
But the buzz in the industry is the 53-year-old filmmaker's altered appearance, which he has ascribed to a special form of yoga. Your diarist can tell you that Mishra, who is known by his silver mane, has been drawing a lot of attention lately with the startling appearance of black strands. When asked if he has been colouring his hair, he answers mischievously that he has been selectively dyeing his strands. But the story goes thus, Mishra has been practicing Hot Yoga, which is reportedly helping him reverse the ageing process and defy genetics as well. While this diarist would like to take this with a generous lump of salt, don't be surprised if you suddenly see follically challenged filmmakers striking absurd poses in a sauna, a la Hot Yoga.

How to Tell if Someone is Lying over the Phone
by Simon Cruise, author of Detect Deceit
Since you cannot observe the behavior of a person whom you are talking to on the phone, then how to tell if someone is lying over the phone proves to be difficult. But it can be done. Simply concentrate on specific verbal patterns. You may try this on a salesman who pesters you frequently. Or you may try this on your spouse if you believe that he makes up excuses as he informs you that he will be coming home late.
Here are the top three tips on how to tell if someone is lying over the phone.
- Get a baseline behavior. This is easy if you are dealing with your spouse. You know exactly how he behaves when he is lying and when he is telling the truth. Use that to your advantage. If it is someone whom you do not know, then engage him first with neutral topics. Pay close attention to the choice of words and the tone. That's the baseline behavior, which is how a person behaves when he has no incentive to tell a lie. If you hear considerable deviation from that baseline tone and syntax, then there is a big chance that he is not being truthful.
- Watch out for anxiety. This manifests in the form of silences, although telling the truth can also lead to brief pauses. To confirm your suspicion that a person is, indeed, lying to you, do this: ask a pointed question that necessitates a yes or a no answer. If the reply begins with "well," then something must be amiss.
- Listen to word fillers. If the person talking to you over the phone uses a lot of word fillers ("umm," "ah," "uh huh," etc.), then it's very likely that he is formulating a lie and is having a hard time doing it. But this is not true for someone who has difficulty in speaking the language (e.g. a foreigner).
Simon Cruise is the author of Detect Deceit, a revolutionary guide that details how anyone can learn to become a master of lie detection, with the ability to analyze the things people say and do and instantly judge whether or not they can be trusted. Find out more at http://www.detectdeceit.info

Last Friday and today, I noticed some water in the laundry room. There doesnt seem to be any leaks in any pipes connected to the clothes washer or the sink next to the washer in the laundry room. Moreover we do NOT see any water during or after we do our weekly round of laundry (usually around 5-6 loads) during the weekends. What I did notice was that the water softener was also going through its weekly regenerating cycle. I confirmed this was the case today and am almost certain I had heard the water softener running last Friday as well when we woke up around 6am. At that time when I saw the water pooled by the washing machine in the laundry room, I assumed it might have been from the wet umbrella I had kept there for drying on Thursday night and simply wiped off the water with a paper towel and we did our usual 5-6 loads of laundry over the weekend without any issues. This morning I could hear the softener running in the basement as I came downstairs to the first floor and then when I went to the laundry room saw the water around the washing machine (no laundry was done between last Sunday and today morning). After wiping up the water, I quickly inspected the various pipes connected to the washing machine and they looked fine, not wet or leaking. So I went to basement and the water softener was going through the (backwash?) phase where it drains all the water from the brine tank and mineral tank and into the drain. Roughly an hour later, the softener was done with the regenarating cycle. If it helps, I should also mention that our basement is unfinished and while looking at the softener, I looked up towards the ceiling and did not notice any issues with any of the pipes leading up and to the laundry room area (or even the pipes leading to the half-bath next to the laundry area). Am trying to figure out what could be causing the water to pool/leak in the laundry room? Could it be somehow related to the softener running? Thank you for any input! |

Just talked to my wife. She had run one load through the washer and indicated there was a small pool of water at the bottom of the washer. So perhaps there may not be a connection to the softener after all. Would appreciate any input on where I can start and what kinds of things to look for to help isolate the problem. Thank you, |

Some more info... The washer is a Bosch 500 series... I noticed water dripping very slowly and only at the end during the spin cycle... And it seems to be near the front of the washer at present... Anyone? |
I don't have a Bosch, I have an LG front loader but have had pooling water a few times. One of the times was due to a small cut/tear in the large rubber seal around the door opening. Something in our clothes must have cut it, but the tear was so small I hadn't noticed it. Turns, out, any water that goes through the tear goes straight to the floor. The other times I've had leaks are because the filter and/or the narrow hose that leads to the filter have been clogged up. On the LG there's a small door on the front of the machine at the bottom left and it has a plastic filter that screws into the machine. If something gets stuck in there then water can't drain properly. There's also a little hose that leads to the filter and ours has gotten clogged several times. We live at the beach and despite my best efforts apparently A LOT of sand gets into our washing machine. The sand then gets hardpacked into that narrow hose and prevents water from draining properly, so it drains to the floor. I now do preventative cleanings of that hose and the filter (both super easy to do) to avoid leaks. I don't know if any of the above is relevant to your Bosch, but I hope it helps. |

Great. I am enamored of yet another expensive facial cleanser. This stuff is so creamy and foams up so nicely-I am a sucker for any foaming cleanser. It leaves my skin soft and clean,and you only need a little bit.Removes all my makeup too. Nice light fragrance as well. I am almost done with the GWP tube-I shudder to think of how much this stuff is. I don't wanna know-better to be surprised at the counter. I will buy this during the next GWP time. make it worth my while.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Takes off makeup, very well. But is very drying for my combination skin. Those white coat ladies don't know anything..
When visiting my parents recently, I left my cleanser at home. I used my Mom's tube of this. Within a couple of days, my face was terribly broken out. I'm pretty sure it was this cleanser because I didn't use anything else new on my face at the time. I liked how it foamed and left my skin feeling clean but it caused a major breakout for my oily, acne prone skin.
Oh yeah, this took off all my makeup off alright and more! This cleanser sucked all the moisture out of my face! I thought this was for normal/combo skin!
Clinique and I have this terribly co-dependent relationship... I come into some extra money, or just bite the bullet, and buy a jar of Total Turnaround, some daywear moisturizer, and this cleanser and I'm so happy. Then, everything runs out and I think, "I don't need to spend this kind of money on skin care. Surely there is a drug store version that works just as well."
And so I spend the next six months bouncing from drug store product to drug store product, trying to figure out why my skin looks so dull and blemishy and horrible until I come into some money or just pony up and the cycle repeats again.
I'm writing this review so that I never forget how much I love this cleanser. It's a worthwhile investment and leaves my skin soft, clean, and actually seems to improve the texture.
Like a review below said, Clinique is not for everyone, but if you find it works for you, stick with it and try this cleanser. Welcome to my nightmare.
A tiny bit goes a long way! The foaming action is great and I love the texture of it. I have dry skin with an oily forehead. It tackled the oil nicely but left the rest of my face smooth, but thirsty! I think it would be a good product for oily skin types. I wouldn't ever buy it though because it just doesn't seem worth it when there are many products of similar quality for less. Try Noxzema Triple Clean instead, it moisturizes much better also.
I have 60 ml from samples only!
It's a good make up cleanser but not for every day use. I take it with me in travels and it's very handy
this isn't a great cleanser but it's so much better than the soap...really foams...(no wonder it's called the foaming cleanser)...and u only need to use a little bit each time...however it can be a bit drying in winter...
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Very concentrated cleanser! You only need a bit, really foams! Clean, but again with a tradeoff like their soaps very drying and stripped!!! It can dehydrate your skin! And because it is also creamy when it gets hot it can also feel like you have a residue on your skin!
This is my favourite cleanser. My skin is dry and prone to breakouts and this cleanser keeps my skin clear without making it any drier. Economically, I think it is a great value because it is so highly concentrated that a little goes a long way. A tube will last me almost an entire year. Will never be without it.

A Summer Friday Night in a Small Town
July 24, 2010 by Hoby · 2 Comments
As we travel across the country in our Motor home (we are full-timers), we find ourselves staying in a variety of locations. We spent Friday evening in a small town, where they have a number of activities during the summer. We are in Winchester Bay, Oregon, which is about 4 miles from Reedsport and both are on the Umpqua River (with a total population of less than 5,000). The small town allows you to enjoy the activities without the overly large crowds in larger venues.

Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/products/3dmark03/
3DMark03 is the latest version of the highly favored 3DMark series. By combining full DirectX9.0 support with completely new tests and graphics, 3DMark03 continues the legacy of being industry standard benchmark.
Please Note: Due to recent events with the 3DMark03 series, we are adding results purely for those who are still in favor of 3DMark03. These results should not be taken too seriously and are only added for interest sakes.
While we have shown in the past that the newer 3DMark revisions are nearly all graphics card limited, we can still use this benchmarking tool since we have the same components in both test systems. The only difference is the motherboards, so this test does have merit.
That said, we see another very close race between the two competing chipsets. The math shows just a bit over 1% performance gain when using the ABIT board. Again it isn't much, but every little bit helps.

[470] Intense Micropthalmia Transcription Factor (MITF) Expression Is a Marker of Mastocytosis
Christopher M Carter, May R Arroyo, Robert W Allan. University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville, FL
Background: Micropthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a basic helix-loop helix leucine zipper transcription factor that is critical for the development of melanocytes, osteoclasts and mast cells. It is frequently used in dermatopathology as a marker of melanocytic lesions as melanocytes intensely express this marker. Recently it has been demonstrated the activating mutations in codon 816 of the tyrosine kinase receptor KIT, found in the majority of patients with systemic mastocytosis, markedly upregulates MITF expression. We sought to determine if overexpression of MITF by immunohistochemistry could be used to evaluate neoplastic mast cell disorders.
Design: Archival formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks from patients with mast cell lesions (cutaneous, bone/soft tissue and bone marrow) at this institution were retrieved for MITF immunohistochemistry (C5/D5 IgG1 clone) using standard methods (Ventana Benchmark XT). Nuclear and cytoplasmic expression of MITF was semi-quantitatively scored (intensity: 0-negative, 1+- minimal, 2+- moderate, 3+- strong; extensiveness in target cells 0- 0%, 1- <50%, 2- 50%-75%, 3- >75%). Pertinent clinicopathologic information was recorded. Negative controls consisted of 52 cases from various anatomic sites stained with MITF to assess for background mast cell staining.
Results: A total of 7 patients with adequate tissue blocks were identified for MITF staining (age range 11months- 81 years, mean 54.6 years, M:F 2:5) from different anatomic sites (cutaneous- urticaria pigmentosa n=2, diffuse cutaneous n=1), bone/soft tissue (mastocytoma of bone n= 1), bone marrow n= 3 (systemic mastocytosis n=2, atypical mastocytosis associated with myelodysplastic syndrome n=1). 5 of the 7 cases showed strong staining in >75% of the mast cells (3+); the two negative cases representing the mastocytoma of bone and urticaria pigmentosa in an 11 mo. old. No significant nuclear or cytoplasmic staining (only minimal 1+ intensity) was observed in any of the 52 negative control cases.
Conclusions: Intense extensive nuclear expression of MITF is present in the majority of mast cell tumors (5/7); such staining may be a reliable method to distinguish benign from neoplastic mast cells. Furthermore, intense MITF by mast cell neoplasms is a potential pitfall in the diagnosis of melanocytic lesions. A larger study correlating MITF expression with mast cell phenotype and activating C-kit mutation status is needed to clarify the significance of intense MITF expression in mast cell neoplasms.

The Millhouse pub in Thorpe St Andrew which has closed. PHOTO BY SIMON FINLAY
Saturday, January 12, 2013
An Evening News poll has found that a new East of England Co-op convenience store would be welcomed on the boarded-up site of The Millhouse pub in Thorpe St Andrew, pictured below.
It was revealed last Saturday that Co-op were interested in converting the large pub, in Laundry Lane, which was built in 1961 and known as The Lord Mancroft up until 1995.
A poll at www.eveningnews24.co.uk saw 79pc of people welcome Co-op taking over the site, with over 100 people casting a vote.
Reaction to the news from registered users of www.eveningnews24.co.uk was generally positive as well.
One user, going simply by the name of N, said: "It's just a shame that another pub is being lost. This smacks of another case of not investing properly, which in turn leads to fewer people wanting to use the pub and then the pub (company) saying it's not a viable business."
While P Buckell said: "I think it should be a quality coffee/fast food place and B&B. There are enough convenience stores in Thorpe St Andrew." Interested parties must now wait to see if Co-op registers a planning application for the site.
2 comments
Lets hope so always liked to co-op plus just down the road is a bonus, although sainsburys is only down the road do we really need another store?
Saturday, January 12, 2013
Its either housing or a supermaket. People in Thorpe have rejected it as a pub. Co-op would be good or how about a Tesco?

Man held after brandishing gun
BENNINGTON — A Readsboro man is being held without bail after police said he pointed a gun at two people during a family argument on April 9.
Christopher M. Crockwell, 32, of Readsboro, was arraigned on April 10 in Bennington criminal court on a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and a misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment.
Police said Crockwell called them on April 9 to say that he had gotten into an altercation with two of his girlfriend's relatives which he said started when he began to "roughhouse" with his girlfriend's two children and the child of a friend.
Crockwell said the adults were upset because they believed he was "taking it too far" with the children. Crockwell said the argument became violent and he took out a pistol for self-protection.
However, he also admitted to drinking alcohol which violated a condition of his probation in Massachusetts.
Police said they spoke to two of the children on April 9 and both said Crockwell sometimes hurts them when he is "playing." They said he sometimes won't stop even when they tell him he is hurting them, according to the affidavit.
On Thursday, Bennington County Deputy State's Attorney Jennifer Barrett argued that Crockwell should be held without bail because he possessed a gun and drank alcohol, which were violations of his conditions of probation. Barrett said the state believed Crockwell had demonstrated he was not willing to follow court orders.
Judge Cortland Corsones agreed and ordered Crockwell held without bail until the charges are resolved.MORE IN This Just InPolice: Man robbed Full StoryIllegal gun buy Full StoryPolice are looking for a hit-and-run driver. Full Story -

what else to make. I've done 18 quarts of Chase's dill Pickles, 12 quarts of Sweet Bread and Butter Pickles (half of them are HOT with added peppers), 13 pints and 2 quarts of relish and I still have about 6-8 pounds of cucumbers left. What else should I make |
Follow-Up Postings:
You sure have enough pickles, I think, and my secondary standby is always sweet relish, which you've also covered. I have a friend who washes them, slices them, covers them with Italian dressing and freezes them in ziplock bags. I wasn't wild for them, but I don't care for Italian dressing all that much. My girls ate all the extra ones I could grow in the form of "tuna boats", which were simply peeled cucumber halves with the seeds removed and then the cucumber was filled with tuna salad. Annie |
I feel your pain. One the best day, we pull in 12 cukes and now we are averaging 4 per day. The neighbors either love us or they are hiding from me..... So make friends and hand them out if you are overwhelmed. Some of the older neighbors that no longer garden have been so thankful. Going to a party? Take cucumbers in sour cream to share. My problem is an overload of chard and collard greens. My freezer is getting overstuffed. |

Sauted with chives 1 kg cukes 1 bunch chives small bunch parsley 20g butter soup spoonsthick cream 1 soup spoon mustard s&p Peel and de-seed the cukes and cut unto sticks. Snip chives and chop parsley. Heat the butter in a large pan and cook cukes over a high heat for no more than 2 minutes. Add the cream and heat through. Off the heat, add the mustard and herbs and season. A sauce that is heaven with salmon and very pretty too. |
Soaked cucumbers-slice cukes thinly and put in a bowl with some salt. Let sit 3o minutes or so. Drain. Add some cider vinegar. Doesn't have to cover them. This can also be made with added onions. Serve that with a little sour cream. Absolutely delicious. |
I've been dehydrating cucumber slices. I use a cutting mandolin to make slices an even thickness so they dry evenly. Place the small end slices on one tray and the mid-size and large-size slices on another tray because the smaller slices will dry sooner than the larger slices. We use them like chips with a yogurt dip, or crumbled on a salad instead of croutons. -Grainlady |

Make cucumber soup and freeze it. Make sure to add some dill. Can be served hot or cold. Don't have a specific recipe to post as I have about 6 of them and it seems every time I make it, it comes out different, but good. I like the ones best that have sauteed onions in it. Some are creamier than others...those with yogurt are a little more tart than those with milk. |
We like this simple relish. Good in curried chicken salad, or mix w/ yogurt for raita. This year I tried a batch omitting the onion and using more cukes, and replacing the mustards and cumin with some garlic, dill seed, lemon juice and a little preserved lemon. Hopefully it will be tzatziki-ish. Indian-Style Cucumber Relish From Small Batch Preserving by Ellie Topp & Margaret Howard 6 cups diced, peeled cucumber (8-12 medium pickling cucumbers) Combine vinegar sugar, cumin and mustard in a non-reactive pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add vegetables and return to a boil for 30 seconds. Fill clean, hot jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Process half-pints or pints in boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Makes 6 half-pint jars. |

I have a T&T recipe for Cucumber Yogurt soup, that even people who say they usually don't like cold soups have liked. Makes about 36 oz which should serve about 6 as an appetizer. Cold Cucumber Yogurt Soup 3 large cucumbers (peeled and seeded) After peeling and seeding cucumbers, chop them into 1/2" cubes and place in colander. Sprinkle all of the salt on the cucumber pieces and let sit for 10 minutes. (to draw out some of the moisture and any bitterness) Next place salted cucumbers in food processor or blender with all of the remaining ingredients, blend until desired smoothness. Chill for about an hour and serve. |

Gosh, I use your recipe for bread and butter pickles and would lay in a boatload of them if I had a bumper crop. DH says they taste just like the ones his great aunt made when he was a kid. So, my answer is, more bread and butter pickles! |

McGinn jumpstarts the waterfront seawall debate
Mayor Mike McGinn's proposal to immediately ask Seattle voters to tax themselves for the reconstruction of the downtown seawall has what some fear could be a curiously grab-and-go aspect. The new mayor has decided to ask for funding without waiting for new designs on the seawall replacement, raising questions about how well the waterfront will work for people, business, sea life, and the environment generally for decades to come. Another set of questions: How well will the new mayor work with his partners on this key project?
The mayor said that safety concerns are so large that speed is paramount. In his press conference on Thursday morning, he spoke about a 1-in-10 chance of seawall failure in the next 10 years, and the likelihood that a seawall failure would bring down the nearby Alaskan Way Viaduct.
"It would be irresponsible to not address this basic issue of public safety immediately," the mayor said in a statement about his plan to put a $241-million bond issue for the seawall replacement on the ballot in May. On Friday, McGinn spokesman Aaron Pickus said the administration is confident voters will approve a bond issue, which requires 60 percent approval. The alternative would be a levy measure, requiring only a majority of voters to say yes. A bond is preferable, he said, because it is paid off over 30 years, meaning the yearly taxes would be much lower than for a levy, which would be collected over nine years.
The administration believes it can explain "that this is a very basic public safety need," Pickus said.>
While the media are busy watching to see if the new mayor will try to derail the agreed-upon plan to replace the viaduct with a tunnel, that doesn't seem to be part of the proposal. For a mayor who used his inauguration to say he wanted to engage the citizens, the immediate resort to the ballot box probably fits, perhaps in a way city residents won't soon forget. But the comments about the proposal also made clear that he is moving quickly enough to have engaged in little or no serious outside consultations, even with city council.
From a key tunnel support group, the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce, the mayor's proposal drew a guarded but positive comment. Charles Knutson, a chamber vice president for policy, said, "Generally speaking, we are pleased that Mayor McGinn is taking a step to secure funding."
Knutson noted that the chamber had just learned of the mayor's ballot proposal and will examine it. There seemed to be a lot of that going around Tuesday. As Publicola reported, city council members had received essentially perfunctory notifications.
Cary Moon of the People's Waterfront Coalition, which has raised tunnel concerns while advocating strongly for more public spaces along the shore of Elliott Bay, said she had received a call the night before, with no opportunity to offer advice. She said she was "of two minds" about what she had seen of the proposal. The city is right to reassert that the waterfront and the seawall replacement are Seattle's business, she said. But she added that there are "some huge risks with trying to do it quickly."
So far, the city's designs for rebuilding the seawall have been "1950s-style," primarily involving tons of concrete, Moon said. A better design would provide more public access to the water's edge in significant segments, while adding at least some naturally sloped beaches, tidepools, and other environmental features to let sea life thrive. "That is hard to do," Moon said in touting a fish- and people-friendly replacement. "That takes some creative engineering, and it takes time, because we are inventing something."
Former mayor Charles Royer, a co-chair of a city-established Central Waterfront Partnerships Committee, also expressed concern about the speed. Both he and Moon spoke of the importance of a design that is a "100-year" opportunity to create the city's future on the waterfront.

"U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will have a large role in the replacement process."
After watching the meeting between the legistlatute and the Feds (on tvw, last Fall) this part is bigger than I ever thought. The creative new design is subject to federal approval.
Bringing them in before too much imagineering happens could save time and money. Creating a new wildlife habitat invites other federal agencies in, too.
I agree with Mr. Royer, that the seawall is of interest of the Port.
I think the mayor could have done well by making the safety case and the need to complete this sooner. Facts help support arguments, right, McLawyer?
Posted Fri, Jan 15, 7:11 a.m.
This quote from Mayor McGinn is a keeper:
"It would be irresponsible to not address this basic issue of public safety immediately," Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn. That's a good policy.
I remember another politician saying a lot about the Alaskan Way Viaduct and the 520 bridge being "our levies" and pushing for early action. That was years ago.
Will McGinn apply his public safety policy, and be as bold, on 520 and the Viaduct?
If not, he may not get much support for his waterfront bonds.
Posted Fri, Jan 15, 7:13 a.m.
My guess is that he is forcing the timeline inside of the tunnel replacement goal (to be open by 2015).
The mitigation plan would be the defacto surface option.
He has no idea how long the seawall will really take.
Posted Fri, Jan 15, 7:54 a.m.
Before one asks for the citizens of Seattle to fix the Seawall with a tax increase, the Mayor/city have to resolve the cost-overrun issue for the Tunnel. If the Tunnel is dropped due to this issue, the State will have to come back with a new alternative which they probably have studied already. If a new scheme meets Seattle's standards, most likely WSDOT would pay for the Seawall repair, avoiding a properety tax increase.
The Mayor is correct in wanting to start fixing things. But he should not go to the voters before other alternatives have been vetted.
Posted Fri, Jan 15, 7:57 a.m.
Forgive me gaia... but is downtown Seattle really the right place to worry about fish habitat? It's a seawall, it will still be a seawall.
I think it is obvious that this needs action and McGinn is right to kick things off with a reasonable plan.
For fish habitat it would be good to do something to ameliorate the railroad tracks which systematically replace the natural shore all the way up the sound.
Posted Fri, Jan 15, 8:43 a.m.
Well for fish habitat, it's currently a mixed blessing. We have squid coming in every winter to mate under the lights down by pier 55. We have octopi living under the aquarium.
Eel grass is what is needed for fish and it's notoriously hard to seed and plant.
I'd vote for just having more people access to the water. All those condos down by Lenora could use a walk in access for beach launching a kayak. I'd like to see walk down access at the foot of S. Washington. There used to be a dock that you could land and tie up to there for small boat access. Now there is just a bench under an old canopy with homeless people living there. It's just not well utilized by very many people.
It's still a working waterfront and that's ok, but just re-rip-raping it would be a disaster for the next 100 years.
Posted Fri, Jan 15, 9:29 a.m.
Art, I'll guess that no matter what, with this mayor, Seattle will be on the hook for the seawall no matter what.
The state is obligated to relace its highway, anything beyond that I suspect the state will pull its arms in on.
Posted Fri, Jan 15, 10:09 a.m.
My take on the situation is that McGinn looked at all the capital needs identified in the future and came to the conclusion that we don't have enough revenue from City, State and Federal funds to complete them all. If the economy fails to recover, we'll need to defer or delay projects such as the tunnel, south Lake Union traffic projects, and 520 replacement.
So better to bypass the usual Seattle-process where we study things to the nth-degree and make a commitment.
By decoupling the Alaska Way Viaduct from the seawall replacement, we can make some progress on an important capital project and give us flexibility to balance out capital needs in other areas.
I'm sure that the Council isn't happy with being left out of the process but I'm willing to give McGinn a little leeway on this. The mayor's job is to set the agenda and that is what he is doeing.
Posted Fri, Jan 15, 10:33 a.m.
Amen, GaryP. First and foremost the reconstruction of the seawall should be about safety, but if we can increase public access to the water, we should. I know that would get me to spend more time along Alaskan Way.
Posted Fri, Jan 15, 10:37 a.m.
By turning a safety issue into a land-use issue, tunnel supporters (and surface option supporters, for that matter) have up-ended what should have been a fairly clear-cut solution and made a mess of this whole thing. Perhaps this seawall proposal is an attempt to focus our thoughts back on safety. If so, I applaud it. If there are really urgent safety concerns here, then all these land-use desires should be put on the back burner.
Posted Fri, Jan 15, 10:42 a.m.
The seawall will be done a section at a time. It already has a design.
The money should come from the state, not Seattle.
Posted Fri, Jan 15, 11:38 a.m.
After having recently (2001) put in a new bulkhead (aka "seawall") on my property, I can tell you that the permitting process is a nightmare. Soil studies, erosion studies, satellite photos, topographical maps, Department of Fisheries, Corps of Engineers, Peninsula Advisory Committee, Health Department, etc. Each had their own fees, forms and hearings. The final stack of documents was as thick as a Seattle phone book. Funny thing, once the permitting fees I paid surpassed the fine I would have been assessed for bootlegging it in, the permitting sailed through (two years and over $10,000 later). And that was for a six foot by 100 foot rock wall. It will be interesting to see if Seattle's approval process turns out to be easier or more difficult than mine.

Leadership frightens some people. I have to give the mayor props so far for being willing to lead, this being one of several examples, though it's early and only a small start.
Posted Fri, Jan 15, 12:38 p.m.
That was "leadership"?
I thought he was undercutting a process already in motion. I think he could have lead those people with facts to the opinion he expressed.
He stood outside and had a press conference.
I think he is competing, not leading.
Posted Sat, Jan 16, 10:03 a.m.
Not sour grapes, the Nickels "style" was as a bomb thrower (at least early on). This is not any different, maybe worse, in that he did not make a factual case (other than claiming safety).
What authority says this has to happen sooner than the corrently published completion date?
The generalities lead to a declaring something because I told you so.
He is asking 60% of the Seattle voters to doing something sooner because he told us so.
Spend five minutes in this town and it become clear that doing anything sooner that involves a vote is doomed without a significant amount of communication.
He, as much as anybody, knows from he prior life as a lobbyist that he did not lobby support with that press conference.
Now he has 9 other mini mayors hair splitting his proposal, the timing of the vote, content of the project, and his respect for those that have been working on this already.
Read the story, read the quotes at Publicola, and tell me he started the city on a path to success for a 60% May vote.

This video should be included in the discussion. McGinn is right. The City Council had best not get their knickers in a bunch over this.
Posted Sat, Jan 16, 5:59 p.m.
McGinn has suggested a levy amount. It may provide latitude for a variety of design options. If it does not, the Council could chose to increase the amount during their discussion. It will take five votes just to get it to the spring ballot. Since the seawall is failing, it should be replaced. Nickels showed us the gribbles several years ago and they have probably continued to eat away the pilings.
Posted Sun, Jan 17, 10:04 a.m.
I think spock has raised a good point; namely that to provide the tidelands, fish habitat and eelgrass, etc., you give up the deep moorages that were the reason for the seawall in the first place. In addition to the ferries there are tour boats and the occasional navy vessel that benefit from the deep moorage. It would be a huge and, in my opinion, unwise transformation to attempt to "build" a tidelands on our central waterfront. The piers themselves are (I am told) in a bad state but if there is any historic value to the waterfront area it is in the piers and I believe them to be far more interesting than the pocket beach near the Sculpture Park.
Posted Tue, Jan 19, 9:30 a.m.
And there is basic geology. Our downtown waterfront did not have much beachhead in the first place. Carved by glaciers, the drop off was fast and deep. WE artifically created much of the slope at the waters edge so we could build docks where rail trestles once wove a confusing mass. The sea wall was built not only to keep the sea OUT, but to keep the land fill IN.
Posted Tue, Jan 19, 1:31 p.m.
No one will do anything because the city & state are broke. But the politicians have to keep bleating "we are doing something" because the voters need to hear it. If only the average voter could put 2 + 2 together...

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Olivia!
Facts about Olivia
- Breed: Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Olivia's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Hi I'm Olivia. I am a 3 year old Terrier micx that is looking for my forever home. I was rescued from the Clay County ACPS after a rescue alert went up for me as my time was up at the shelter. Paws 4 Humanity Inc stepped up and saved my life. I am now living with my foster family and I'm a smart, happy go lucky girl if I say so myself. I am an energetic girl and enjoy many activities, like walking and playing fetch. I like chasing kitties too so maybe its best I don't live with them. I get along very well with other dogs, and I love all people. In the house I am well behaved and mind my manners but i do like sitting on the couch next to people and be cuddled. I am still young and like to exercise so a daily walk and or game of fetch in the backyard will make me a very very happy girl.
I just graduated from my Beginner Obedience class and my dog handler thinks that I am a very smart cookie (whatever that means). I know the commands sit, down, stay and come when called. I also know shake and shake other.
I am a sweet and happy go lucky girl and if you are interested in meeting yours truly please contact Paws 4 Humanity Inc at 904 771-9516 or shoot them an email and request an adoption application which is the first step in their adoption process. Once your adoption application is approved you will then be able to me yours truly. I look forward to meeting you soon so that I can show you I deserve a foreve rhome. - Olivia.
Other Pets at Paws 4 Humanity, Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Olivia, a Orange Park Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) for sale in Orange Park, or seeking a Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) dog from a breeder in Orange Park.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Orange Park already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Orange Park breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) breeders who help with Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Orange Park paves the way for another one to be saved.

Studded Jeans Belt
Great belt
I got this belt in size 1, its perfect. I wear it all the time with different KM jeans.
06 December 2012
Beware the sizing!
This belt looks great - I was disappointed by the size however. It's way too big and because of the spikes, I'm unable to put extra holes in it. I would have sent this back and exchanged it for a smaller size but I'd already sent some items back so did not have the invoice it arrived with. It looks lovely, but unless I put on quite a few pounds it's pretty useless.

Quoted from pixelland The book on Menopause looks very interesting... but it's out of stock??
Quoted from Chloe And in ER4YT, it was stated that As shouldn't take hormone replacement therapies.
Quoted Text blood types have different risk factors for reproductive cancers. Type A has greater risksthan the Os. And in ER4YT, it was stated that As shouldn't take hormone replacementtherapies.
Quoted from 815 Tea Rose, do you think that it might be different for you and yours since you're an O and O's can tolerate a whole heck of a lot more than Rose who is an A?
Quoted from Tea Rose Gosh - it is never my intention to tell anyone what to, sorry if it sounded that way.
Quoted from 815 Ms. Tea Rose, I didn't mean anything by that. I was just making conversation... hence the question mark?
Quoted from pixelland One of the big mistakes we have ALL made on this thread (including me) is lumping all forms of hormone therapy into one broad and misleading category. What is HRT? Are you talking about supplementing a declining level of estrogen? or replacing them entirely when a patient is too young to experience menopause naturally? Or maybe your estrogen is just fine and what you really need is something else?
Quoted from Tea Rose I don't know that I would say as a rule that all type O's can tolerate a whole heck of alot more than type A's. I think both groups have their strengths and weaknesses.
Quoted from Chloe Warrior genotypes have a high risk factor for hormonal imbalances in younger years. Teachersrun a high risk of breast cancer in later years. And
Quoted from 815 Ms. Chloe, you hit the nail on the head again..My sister hadendometriosis at 35 and had to have a hysterectomy. She still had an ovary left so when she tried to go on HRT, she kind of flipped out, and had to go off it. My mom had a hysterectomy at 55. I'm hoping to beat the odds. I'm still intact.
Quoted from 1740 Rose, here. . .I'm still trying to figure out if I'm a Teacher or Warrier. I read the book over and over again, and I could go almost either way.Are there any "distinctive" characters I should be looking for which may help in figuring it out?Now if it said, Warrier's lose their hair, I would know immediately! I'm trying to be funny here, and put a smile on my face about this awful hair loss.I really wish I cold just speak with Dr. D, if only for a few minutes. Oh, my kingdom for some hair, or 5 minutes with Dr D!Rose

>> Sunday, November 25, 2012
It's gotten harder for me to write about it all, harder to sit down and capture what I'm feeling. I am so full of emotion and experience, but I have slid into a place of wanting to protect it all, to hold it dear. Hovering like a cloud is the sense that in sharing, some of what I treasure will leak out and run down the storm drain. It will be under-valued or misunderstood and I can't have that, so I keep it to myself.
I walked along Lake Michigan on the beach this weekend, from the park by my parents' house up to the mouth of the Pigeon River. The lake hasn't been this low in years - decades, maybe. We could never walk to the mouth without our feet getting wet. But there's quite a stretch of beach now, and it felt right to make the hike.
When I saw the stand of pines on the bluff, I knew I was close. The rest of the shoreline is scrubby vegetation along the slope. Rocky and weedy. There are more homes than there used to be, but thank God someone left the pines. I remember as a kid it was all forest up on that bluff. We'd bike back as far as we could and then leave our wheels and scurry down the slope to where the river meets the lake. I can't even remember who I was with on these adventures- it's a blend of faces or the sensation of youthful energy that comes rushing back. And when I made it to the mouth via the beach this weekend, I felt it. The memories, yes; but what hits me when I'm there is the Whole of Growing Up. The confluence of my experiences and my sisters' and my friends'. Of my dad's, who also grew up on those beaches. There's a sense that brings equal parts bitter and sweet as I feel I am seeing Home through a different lens than that myopic one that I had as a child. It felt so big to go back.
I get so down on Sunday nights. It starts creeping up earlier in the day and I ignore it, but it surfaces each week. I need to let go of the stress that creeps up as work enters my mind and hang on instead to the weekend I had. This one was a good one. Thanksgiving, extra days and lots of time with family. These boys of mine fill me up, although they drain me, too. I find myself checking boxes on a mental list I hadn't realized I'd made. One-on-one time for each. Reading. Coloring and puzzles. Games together. Time outside. Healthy meals. Light on the video games and cartoons. Minimal fighting. Minimal yelling. Check. Check. Check. Laundry done, dishwasher run, emptied, and reloaded. Get the chickens some time to free-range it, pick up the dog shit in the yard, make sure the husband gets his recharge time. Check. Check. Check.
So why do I feel so worn down? So tired? So inadequate?
I want to live up to my own standards, and they are high. I am my own worst critic, I know this.
I miss them when I'm at work. I worry I don't spend enough time with them, yet I know I'm 100% present when I'm with them. That I give and nurture and love them fiercely. I miss out on some things, but I know they save so much for me. The stories at dinner time and when we're snuggled up at bedtime. I prioritize them, along with that which I need to keep myself mentally and physically healthy.
I guess I feel like I can't keep this up forever. I'm pushing and working so hard to be so intentional in every aspect of my parenting - and I'm probably overcompensating for working full-time out of the house - but I need that bonding time as much as they do. I'm just waiting for that break, and I'm realizing it isn't really going to come.
No neat or poignant wrap-up here; just writing what's on my mind because this place seemed to be calling to me again. Maybe the sharing isn't so much a leak as it is a flow, a confluence of my story with yours. Where the personal meets the universal. This is parenting. This is life. It is a rich, beautiful, blessed life for which I am incredibly grateful, but it is hard. And I am tired.

As always, Lionni does a marvelous job of storytelling and captivates the reader with his wonderful art in this book. However, I want to warn other parents that this book contains an image that may be disturbing to very young readers. I checked this book out at my local library for my 4 year old to read, and thankfully, I saw the picture before letting him look at the book. There is a two-page spread where the mice are declaring 'War! War on the birds!' after Nicolas has told them what has happened to him. The picture shows all of the mice descending on the birds with sharp objects and one bird is being bludgeoned by a very angry mouse. It shows him on top of the bird stabbing it, with blood spilling out. I don't know how I would have explained this act of violence to my innocent 4 year old, so I'm just glad I previewed the book before he saw it. You will definitely want to read this book yourself before giving it to your child.
I saw this book in the store and decided to flip through it to check it out. I always pre-read the books for content before reading to my 2.5 year old daughter. Well, I was very close to putting it in my carriage for purchase when I came across the picture of mice chasing birds with pointed objects and of one mouse standing over a bird with a pointed stick and the bird bleeding on the ground. Despite what the other reviewer said, my 2.5 year old would DEFINITELY not be confused by this picture and would point it out directly and get upset. For those of you with sensitive children, beware of this one. Don't we have enough violence in the world today without reading it to our kids before they go to sleep at night? I'm sure there must have been another way for the author to get his point across than use bloody images in a children's book. Egads.
Leo Lionni's NICHOLAS, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? tells of one Nicholas Mouse, who is carried away by a big ugly bird while hunting for sweet red berries. Days later when he returns home his loyal friends decide to begin a war on birds - and Nicholas is still trying to tell his complete story! The moral is that one bard bird doesn't make a flock...and is well done.

Wizard Or Financial Kervorkian?
Think we have it rough right now? Could you imagine what the financial state of America under Rattner would be like?
[Policing Wall Street]
In 2007 Steve Rattner –until recently President Obama's Auto Tsar— financial Wunderkind, convinced his partners at Quadrangle Group, to purchase Alpha Media for $250 million.
Alpha Media consisted of three publications, Maxim, Blender and Stuff. Quadrangle put up $100 million and borrowed $150 million. Rattner performed his spread sheet calculations on a super computer, rather than a simple calculator, and determined that the ad base of Maxim alone would be sufficient to enable Quadrangle to pay off the $150 million of debt.
The financial tsunami hit. Stuff was closed in 2007. Blender was shut down in 2008. Maxim has suffered a precipitous decline in ad pages.
The result: Quadrangle defaulted on its debt.
Now the new owner of Maxim is Cerberus; it bought Alpha Media. You remember Cerberus? They bought Chrysler and refused to give Congress a list of the partners in Cerberus.
Rattner, the now former Auto Tsar, had been in charge of the bailout of Chrysler. Had Hillary become President, this "genius" Rattner might have become Treasury Secretary.
There are many people, due to media hype, that believe Rattner is a finance wizard. He has been a financial adviser or Guru to the likes of Hillary Clinton, Arthur Sulzberger, and Mike Bloomberg, to name a few.
Yet, Rattner seems to leave wrecks wherever he goes. Think we have it rough right now? Could you imagine what the financial state of America under Rattner would be like?

Cogitore Resources Inc. ("Cogitore") (TSX VENTURE:WOO) COGITORE Resources Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:WOO) is pleased to report that diamond drilling programs are currently underway at two of its base metal projects.
One drill rig is in operation at the Caribou Project located in the Casa-Berardi area, where a 1,200 metre drill program is underway. Drilling in 2009 led to the discovery of high grade new massive sulphides located 3.4 kilometres to the west of the Estrades mine. The deposit forms a thin vertical sheet of approximately 300 metres by 400 metres. The weighted average of the six holes drilled to date is 3.3% copper, 6.5% zinc, 1.7 g/t gold and 66.1 g/t silver over a core length of 1.5 metres. The grades encountered makes the deposit amongst the top 10% of all VMS deposits worldwide (in terms of grade) and the deposit remains open below 600 metres vertical.
The targets for the on-going program include the extension at depth of the Caribou copper-zinc- gold-silver deposit, and an isolated conductor (InfiniTEM anomaly) identified in 2010 on strike and to the east of the deposit.
One rig has also moved to the Scott Lake Project where a 7,600 metre program has started. One of the objectives of the program is to test the structural interpretation suggested by Roscoe Postle Associates in the Central Lens area in the course of the recent resource evaluation. This will provide useful information in preparation for a preliminary economic evaluation. In addition, specific areas will be tested for additional resources, including:
The Company has developed a strategic focus on base metal exploration in prospective areas that also feature infrastructure favourable for mining development. Accordingly, it will focus its work in the Abitibi Belt of Quebec and Ontario.
