Atelier Cologne has just opened its first boutique in the City of Light. The 666-square-foot location in central Paris, tucked away just off the Rue Saint-Honoré in a space that used to be two stores — an art gallery and a postcard seller, is its second freestanding shop (after one in New York's NoLIta neighborhood). Sylvie Ganter, a cofounder of the fragrance brand, explained Atelier Cologne is 100 percent French. "So it was about time we opened in Paris," she said. As the space was being renovated this fall some original details were uncovered, such as a brick wall, pillars and decorative molding. Wood from Brazil lines the floor and much of the shop's furniture is reconstituted from antique pieces. "All those things have so much soul and history that we were glad to bring them back to life in our own world with a different type of use," added Ganter. On site along with the full range of Atelier Cologne products is an engraving atelier, where customers' names or initials can be put on the scents' leather caps and travel pouches. Most recently, Atelier Cologne opened in Harvey Nichols in Kuwait, and up next could be a presence in Dubai and Shanghai, according to Ganter.
Atelier Cologne, 8 Rue Saint-Florentin, 75001 Paris. Tel.: +33-1-42-60-00-31. Open Mon.-Sat. 10 a.m.-7:30 p.m.

Theories about Agent Coulson's "death" in The Avengers. Is Luke Cage or Rage a part of the show? Was that Doctor Strange in the trailer?
Whoa... wait up a second. Doctor Strange? Yeah, you heard that right as some are saying the above photo is the good doctor himself.
Fan theorists will always have their say, I mean I do it too and it's fun to speculate, but it's doubtful Doctor Stephen Strange is going to be revealed for the first time in Marvel's cinematic universe on television. Looking to the only fact there is regarding the good doctor, we have to believe that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is being true to his hints that Strange is being saved for his own solo movie after Ant-Man and in Phase 3.
Even though the word "strange" is said more than once in the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. trailer, it sounds to be a coincidence.
Quick sidebar: Can I write it as SHIELD from now on? Adding the periods over and over again is tiresome. No? Fine. (There's nothing wrong with writing out your own inner monologue Deadpool-style, by the way.)
All attempts at humor aside, it is my opinion that this is simply an image of someone who may resemble the doctor but is not. Maybe Marvel planted that to fuel the rumors more. If so, maybe we should give Marvel more credit for stirring their own pot more than us theorists doing it online.

I need an opinion on how to arrange 10 peonies in a row. Yes, yes I know... It's an old school straight line of peonies bordering my veggie garden. That's the deal.
So it's a 30 foot bed, 48 inches wide. I'm thinking I'll fit 10 plants. I'll have 2 red, 2 white, and 6 pinks of various shades. The white and pink are divisions of plants I've already got, so those numbers are flexible, depending on how I divide. I'm willing to purchase 2 reds, so that number is final. I was thinking the 2 reds in the middle, a white on each side of those, and pinks carried out to the ends of the bed. Design is NOT my strong point. Hence my request for opinions. Thoughts? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would mix the colors in a more random pattern. Since pink is basically red + white, a random mix might create a more appealing blend than if they were arranged by color. The eye will be drawn to the most dominant color in the row, so breaking up the colors will keep the eye moving around. |

Ah, see? You sound like you know what you're talking about. I'm very type A, so I'm just no good at random-ness. I will keep this idea in mind for sure. |

Yesterday I cut flowers from my garden to take to a relative. At this time of year, the flowers with stems of any length are mostly white, pale pink, medium pink and red (though I also added some yellow-white marguerites). The colors worked well together. The very dark red columbines were fine with the Former Owner's medium pink roses and the standard pink-red coral bells. On the other hand, the Robinson's Red pyrethrum, which had just bloomed for the first time, turned out to be a horrible magenta. Not only did it look awful with the dark red columbines, but it looked awful with the coral bells and the pink roses (and it's not long for the bed it's living in). Which is all to say that how I'd plant the peonies would depend on how the individual shades do next to each other. If some of the colors shouldn't be seen together, I'd make a random mix as jenn suggested. But if the colors are more like different shades from white to red, you might consider that sort of planting arrangement. Start with white on the sides, then move through the pinks from lightest to darkest, ending with red in the middle. Or have red on the sides and white in the middle. I'm not guaranteeing such a progression would work well or look good, but depending on which shades of pink I had at my disposal, I'd consider trying it. (However, I'm not a pro, so be warned.) |
- Posted by cranberry15 Zone 5 WI (My Page) on Thu, May 5, 11 at 16:32
Well, here's what's funny - I've got 3 different pinks and of course they're not blooming yet. I can't remember exactly what they look like. One is ancient and was here when we bought the place (property is 100+ year old farmstead), one is a hand-me-down from a friend who got it from a friend. Another was purchased at a master gardener perennial sale and was only labeled "pink". I'm confident they'll all mix well with white and red and I'm pretty set on the random idea. I actually made little pieces of paper, one for each plant, and drew them from a hat to determine order of planting. I did it 4 times before I saw a pattern I felt good about. Here's my next decision to make... I should probably cut any flower buds that develop this year, yes? It's a bit late to be dividing peonies, and stems are already up to 10 inches high. How necessary do you think it will be to prevent flowering this first year? Makes me sad... |
Peonies are best divided in the fall. I would leave them be, take pictures of them in bloom so you know the colors (if the new ones bloom this year - they may not...) You can use the pictures to play with arrangements, then divide and replant this fall. I like MTO's arrangement of shading from light to dark - either the length of the bed or having the dark red in the center and fading out through pinks to white on either side. Last summer we replaced the rose on the swag with clematises (no thorns!). I have them arranged so they start off red at one end, shade through pinks to white, then to pale blue, to deep blue-purple. Having the reds at the 'near' end (at the south gate entrance to the back yard) and the deep blue-purples at the 'far' end should make the alley look longer - in theory at least. Reversing the colors would make it look shorter. However, I find clematis notoriously mislabelled plants. Since I wasn't able to find them all in bloom, I won't know if it works until they get big enough to bloom - and that may not be this year... Playing with color arrangements is fun :-) |

Paired with the works of Francis Bacon and the Buddha on the topic of revenge, Gina's students reflect on what sort of people find joy in the pain of others.

Professor Works to Dispel Skin Care Myths for Clients
By: Nicole Urbanowicz
Posted: January 2, 2013, from the January 2013 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
Michelle Calvarese, PhD
page 2 of 3
What Calvarese finds most compelling about her work are the types of myths and misconceptions surrounding beauty, and the dangerous things women do worldwide that put their health in peril for aesthetic purposes. For this reason, the esthetics center that she runs is one-woman-show called Truth Skin Care.
Although her specialty is highly focused anti-aging treatments and chemical peels, her main goal is to teach clients about how to maintain healthy skin, rather than reverting to Botox injections as a quick fix.
"You can have a client who is 60 without a wrinkle," she says. "I'm trying to get clients to understand that if your skin is healthy, that is what makes it look youthful."
As a result, Calvarese focuses on collective skin care and promoting elastin production through dermafiling and microdermabrasion. In addition, she regularly evaluates her skin care service menu by generating client comments on Facebook. "One of the biggest things is to listen to clients, and offer the services and products that they want ... not what you want." Her success in this is evident in that approximately 70% of service clients buy her retail, as well. Calvarese uses the lines Circadia by Dr. Pugliese, Mark Lees Skin Care and Murad.
Another valuable lesson this professor has learned is that clients just want a good value—and that doesn't mean the least expensive service. "I'm focusing on referrals—that has worked better. Those are the people who have been coming to me regularly, and they are in the same demographic, rather than a discount client coming from another side of town," she says.

Healthcare: KnollTextiles: Strata and Fission Chips
Ruth Adler Schnee has created textiles since the 1940s and her designs, which are colorful and often feature organic and geometric shapes, have become classics. She obtained degrees from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and the Cranbrook Academy of Art, where she studied under Eliel Saarinen. In her illustrious career, she has collaborated with Buckminster Fuller on the interior of the Ford Rotunda geodesic dome, Minoru Yamasaki on the World Trade Center interior, as well as Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, and Frank Lloyd Wright.Working with Dorothy Cosonas, creative director of KnollTextiles, Adler Schnee has reinterpreted two of her own early printed patterns into woven fabrics for use as privacy curtains and drapery fabrics for healthcare interiors. "Over the years, I have had many opportunities to realize my designs in different media—from inspiration, to hand-printed silkscreened drapery cloth, to woven upholstery fabrics," Adler Schnee says. "This gives me an opportunity to go back to the original source and rework, rethink, and renew my efforts."
The two patterns that comprise the collection Adler Schnee created with KnollTextiles are Strata and Fission Chips. Strata, which began as printed burlap wallpaper in 1949 and was later reinterpreted as a printed drapery fabric and gift-wrapping paper, was inspired by the layered landscapes Adler Schnee encountered on her honeymoon in Arizona and Colorado. Fission Chips is based on a 1950 design, which Adler Schnee describes as "cut logs of different textures." Each fabric comes in six colorways, 72-inch wide formats, and is Greenguard certified. Strata is made from 100-percent Trevira CS polyester, and Fission

Reading Worth Your Time
January 23, 2013 by Standing on Truth
Filed under Book Reviews, Christianity, Social Issues
To all fellow book lovers out there, I wanted to share with you a few books I have read lately and can recommend, as well as a movie.
To begin with, a more lighthearted read–A Winter Dream by Richard Paul Evans. This is a fictional retelling of the biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors. It is a very creative modernization of the story, easy to see the parallels and application to real life.
Tortured for Christ by Richard Wurmbrand–this is a moving account of a man's experience for 14 years in a Romanian prison and his plea to believers everywhere to wake up to the struggle of persecuted Christians in other nations. He is founder of the ministry, Voice of the Martyrs, which is "dedicated to assisting the persecuted church worldwide."
In observance of Sanctity of Human Life this January, I read a couple of books highlighting the abortion issue and the role that Planned Parenthood plays in our culture and government. The first book that I highly recommend is written by the former Senior Vice President of Public Policy at Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Karen Handel. You may recall that she resigned early last year after Komen reinstated a grant to Planned Parenthood that they had previously decided to eliminate. This book tells of the ensuing firestorm . . .the bullying and the politics.
Another book centered around the abortion debate is Unplanned by Abby Johnson. I found this book fascinating. As a life-long pro-life advocate, participating in my first peaceful and prayerful protest when I was around 12 years old, this book really reinforced to me that there are well-meaning (although misguided and probably deceived) advocates on the "other side of the fence." Its message of "win them over with love" will resonate with me for years to come.
Another great read is Still Lolo by Lauren Scruggs. For those who are familiar with Jeff & Cheryl Scruggs who have a marriage ministry here in Dallas called Hope for Marriages, this is their daughter Lauren. She was in a terrible, life-changing accident at the end of 2011 involving an airplane propeller. This is her inspiring journey back to health and her testimony to God's greatness.
My last recommendation is the movie/musical Les Miserables starring Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe. It is a powerful story with biblical parallels–grace, law and legalism, redemption, forgiveness–a truly moving onscreen portrayal of a life bound by law and one set free by grace.
So these are just my picks for the new year so far. . .ones that spoke to my heart, challenged me and moved me to action. Enjoy!

March 26, 2012, 2:40 AM
By Laura Lane
Everett Collection
Michael Berk: Hasselhoff negotiated a spin-off, his own series. But Baywatch is still on the air, and David wanted to be a James Bond suave guy in a tuxedo driving a Ferrari. So basically I came up with the idea of making Mitch Buchannon moonlight as a private detective and we would call it Baywatch Nights. David didn't want the girls in bikinis or in red bathing suits to be in Baywatch Nights because he wanted to prove that he was the guy that gave the ratings, not Pamela Anderson's boobs.
David Hasselhoff: My biggest challenge in life is women.
Michael Berk: We were looking for a female lead and it was actually Hasselhoff who was on a plane who heard this girl talking, turned around, she had a great voice, and it was Angie Harmon. So Baywatch Nights lasted two years, and when it was cancelled, Baywatch never got that other time slot back we were losing our channels, our ratings were down, we were losing revenue, and we had to cut budgets. It was right around then we started exploring going to Australia, which ended up taking us to Hawaii.
Billy Warlock: They just tried to milk the cow more and take it to another place.
Michael Berk: We got into a big argument. Greg Bonann wanted the Baywatch Hawaii actors and actresses to wear yellow bathing suits. Doug and I wanted to stay wearing red because that was the iconic color. We ended up losing the battle.
Brande Roderick: I was at another audition for a pilot for a volleyball show and it was the same casting directors as Baywatch. After I went in they said, Oh my gosh, you could be perfect for Baywatch.
Krista Allen: It was such a sense of validation that you might be attractive. It didn't require a lot of skill other than learning to run on the beach in slow-motion.
Michael Berk: When we came back to Baywatch, David was so used to being in control. Greg was living in Hawaii and Doug and I were not and he had more control over the show. He and Hasselhoff got into such a battle of power that at the end of season one there was an episode where Hasselhoff dives underwater for a rescue and there's an explosion at the bottom of the ocean and all the lifeguards are on the boat looking down waiting for David to come up and Hasselhoff surfaces. And he's safe.
Douglas Schwartz: You find David Hasselhoff's Mitch Buchannon's wet suit floating with rips and it was clear that he had blown up into bits and pieces, not just good enough to be dead but in bits and pieces. And that was how David Hasselhoff was no longer on Baywatch he never even knew it until the episode aired.
Michael Berk: Greg re-edited that episode did not have Hasselhoff resurface and killed him. Hasselhoff didn't even know it. It was his own stunt guy that said, Guess what? We've been killed off. It didn't go over well.
Kym Johnson (Dancing with the Stars): He's used to being the best at what he does.
Brande Roderick: He was such a nice guy to work with, very childlike in that he liked to have fun and was always smiling and in a happy mood.... I guess the first season he lived in Hawaii, but the second season he did not work on Baywatch Hawaii.
Krista Allen: Baywatch Hawaii was certainly not as popular as the Baywatch that came before. Baywatch Hawaii was cancelled in the second season, so if you look at it that way, definitely there wasn't this big defining moment of me as a Baywatch babe, you know?
Michael Bergin: Literally my bags were packed and I was going back to Hawaii for a third season in Hawaii I was making $300 an episode the first year, $5,000 the second year, and then $7,500, pretty much the way everyone's contract was structured and found out that it got cancelled. I was shocked.
Brande Roderick: Here we were doing press for the show that we loved and were excited to work on and we got the call that it wasn't coming back. It was tough because we knew we had to go back to L.A. and begin auditioning.
Susan Glickman: Maybe people were burned out of Baywatch.
Everett Collection
Baywatch Hawaiian Wedding aired in 2003.
Douglas Schwartz: We never really had an ending or finale on the show, so I personally called each actor myself until we had 16 actors and everybody was in the reunion movie.
Michael Bergin: You didn't know what cast members were going to be invited to the Baywatch reunion movie, but it was great to just be out there and be on set with Pam Anderson although she was only there for two and a half days.
Carmen Electra: Time had passed. Everyone was just so relaxed and it was great. It felt really good. I was really glad I went back.
Nicole Eggert: I was a totally different person, so going back and seeing everybody again and being able to be my character one last time without feeling so bitter about it to me, it seemed fun. After my daughter, I was in the best shape of my life anyways. I was ten times what I was on Baywatch, so, yeah, it was kind of good to be able to go back comfortable in your skin, knowing you look good, knowing you look better.
Jeremy Jackson: I actually dated Nicole when we wrapped the Baywatch Hawaiian wedding for over a year. But she's older than me, she has a daughter, and I was just still doing my party-guy stuff.
Michael Berk: Obviously Hasselhoff really never got cast in another acting roles. He did some Broadway, singing stuff, some reality stuff and all that. Pam went on to do VIP. Most of the others really didn't continue. Nicole Eggert's done a lot of low-budget movies.
Traci Bingham: I've done pretty much every reality show that you can think of. I was a reality-show queen on crack. I did Celebrity Big Brother in Europe, Surreal Life, Celebrity Big Brother. Those are the ones to do, because however long you stay on, you're making more money each time you win a competition.
Kelly Packard: I got a paper in the mail residuals for Baywatch, probably about 20 episodes, and each one was like 22 cents. Is it anything to live off? No. I hoped and prayed that Dancing with the Stars would call me, but they ended up getting Pam. And I am not going to be Pam.
Pamela Anderson: I think reality TV has kind of just taken over who starts dancing in their forties? I feel like I've just arrived in Hollywood, singing and dancing. I'm taking voice lessons. I mean, I should have done this a long time ago.
Douglas Schwartz: I think a lot of them turned to eating. I was shocked to see Nicole Eggert and Erika Eleniak when they gained all their weight on The Fat Club with Dr. Drew or whatever that show was.
Nicole Eggert: It's so strange when you lose a parent it just knocked me on my ass. I had always just been thin, but when you're stressed, your body will put on weight.
Erika Eleniak: Celebrity Fit Club that was right after I had my daughter. Literally, when they contacted me, she was six weeks old.
Nicole Eggert: I didn't even really realize that I had put on that much weight and that people were talking about it. Really, that's what you're talking about? You're not talking about how I just locked myself up and stayed inside for nine months and was a total basket case? So Celebrity Fit Club came along and I was just like, Why not?
Erika Eleniak: I've never had a weight problem and I don't say that lightly, but I've had plenty of other crosses to bare, believe me. And every mom in Hollywood is pregnant, so I thought, This is great it's very timely, very trendy. So I ended up doing the show and never realized how much it really stuck in people's minds that I have a weight problem. I'm thinking, Gosh, I just got pregnant.
Jeremy Jackson: I did Celebrity Rehab. I was on prescription hormone-replacement therapy, and taking human growth hormone as a prescription. I would say right at about two or three years clean and sober is when, energetically, my life just started changing. I went back and did the Baywatch movie. It just seemed like a huge blessing and I was so thankful that, Oh my gosh, I get another chance to be on camera as a good guy, to be a good person. I'm clean and sober now.
Pamela Anderson: I don't know how I'm still around.... I feel like I went from Baywatch to Dancing with the Stars and I don't know what happened in between except for I know I have two beautiful children. Everything else is a blur.

"Besides the health issues, there's just a lot of outrage," says Lamar resident Polly Munro. "How dare they do this to all of us without our say-so at all? And they're doing such a crummy job of it. People from outside are brought in to build this, and then they get to leave, and we're stuck with it."
The plant's backers maintain that its early operating glitches have been corrected and that the project will provide reliable and affordable power for the region for decades to come. "The plant will stabilize costs for ARPA members over the long term," says LLP superintendent Rick Rigel.
Rigel has described the local opposition as a very small but vocal minority. Yet the group has managed to gather more than 900 signatures on a petition protesting the plant, better than 10 percent of the town's residents. And Cliff Warren, his parents Shirley and Charles, and Verdell Howard, all longtime residents of Lamar, have joined forces with WildEarth Guardians and the University of Denver's Environmental Law Clinic to file a lawsuit against the plant operators under the Clean Air Act.
A little-used provision of the act allows citizens to challenge major polluters directly over alleged emission violations rather than wait for state and federal regulators to take action. WildEarth and the Lamar plaintiffs claim that ARPA failed to meet federal requirements for power plants before starting construction, and that the plant has logged more than a thousand violations of emissions standards since operations began. State health officials also recently initiated a "compliance advisory" — an informal enforcement process — informing Lamar Light and Power that the facility is exceeding its permit levels for nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and particulates. The plant could be subject to a fine of up to $15,000 a day for each violation.
Jeremy Nichols, the climate and energy program director for WildEarth Guardians, notes that e-mails produced in the litigation show Rigel himself expressing concern about nitrogen and particulate emissions that "are far, far exceeding expected levels," as one missive puts it.
"It's a smaller plant and a much less sophisticated utility," Nichols says. "I don't think they know what they've gotten into or how to get out of it. From day one, this thing has been nothing but trouble."
The Lamar plant is expected to generate a modest 43 megawatts of electricity at full operating capacity. It would take 33 such plants to match the output of Xcel's giant Comanche coal-fired plant on the outskirts of Pueblo. But the small-town squabble could have far-reaching consequences for state energy policy — and for other communities seeking more control over their own energy future.
A new state law, the Clean Air-Clean Jobs Act, requires utilities to reduce coal-related emissions, and Xcel recently unveiled a $1.3 billion plan to convert several of its geriatric coal units to natural gas or retrofit them with state-of-the-art emission controls over the next decade, cutting mercury and sulfur dioxide levels by as much as 85 percent. Yet while the rest of the state is scrambling to embrace cleaner technologies and anticipating tougher federal regulations for power-plant pollution, the economically battered communities of southeastern Colorado are heading in the other direction — back to the cheap, dirty power that coal provides.
As people in Lamar are finding out, there are hidden costs to a traditional coal plant, particularly one in the middle of town. "I know we need electricity," Cliff Warren says. "But when you start putting people's health at risk, I have a concern about that. I'm sorry, but I was here first."
Burning coal to generate electricity has long been a major bête noire among environmentalists. Aside from the vaporized mercury and other toxins produced by the process and the obscene amounts of water involved, coal plants churn out millions of tons of heat-trapping carbon dioxide every year, accelerating the serious climate change many scientists expect the planet to undergo in the next few decades. In green circles, anything that slows the development of more coal plants is considered a good thing.
So it was with considerable fanfare that Governor Bill Ritter hailed the arrival on his desk of the Clean Air-Clean Jobs Act this past April, calling it "a template for tomorrow that allows us to transform our energy portfolio, our economy and our environment by working strategically and collaboratively." As lawmakers and Xcel officials looked on approvingly, he signed the bill into law, advancing Colorado to the forefront of the race for clean energy — on paper, anyway.
The reality is somewhat different. Coal still accounts for almost half the power generation in the United States — more in most western states, including Colorado. While activists are groaning over the failure to pass climate legislation in Washington, King Coal has been roaring back with a vengeance. According to the Associated Press, more than thirty coal-fired plants have been built across the country since 2008 or are now under construction.
The driving force behind the coal revival is the fuel's relatively low cost. Coal prices have risen substantially in recent years — a short ton of Powder River Basin coal was commanding fifteen dollars on the open market recently, compared to six dollars in 2005 — and costly emission controls or so-called "clean coal" technology can hike the price much further. But a traditional, carbon-belching coal-burner is still considered a cheaper proposition than a plant reliant on the volatile natural gas market.

Dewey mother arrested after 16-month-old severely burned
A Dewey woman is behind bars following an investigation into severe burns on her 16-month-old child, according to Dewey police.
Dewey Police Chief Mike Shea told 2NEWS that police arrested 23-year-old Danielle Lynn Connor on Tuesday morning on charges of neglect of a child and obstructing officers.
He said the investigation that lead to her arrest began Monday, when the Dewey Police Department received a call from Kansas from the Wichita Police Department about a severely burned 16-month-old that had been transported by helicopter from Jane Phillips Medical Center in Bartlesville.
Shea told 2NEWS the mother transported the child to the Jane Phillips Medical Center around 5 p.m. Sunday. The child is hospitalized in Wichita, and has second and third-degree burns on about 30 percent of the body. The child had apparently somehow gotten into a hot bathtub, said Shea.
Following the call, police and agents from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation obtained a search warrant and served it Monday on a trailer home on the 500 block of S. Osage in Dewey.
Arrested at the Dewey Police Department Tuesday morning, Connor was transported to the Washington County jail where she is currently being held.
Shea told 2NEWS more details will be released as the investigation continues.

Seattle neighborhoods in limbo
Seattle's soul might be said to reside in its neighborhoods, but often immersion in neighborhood politics feels more a ride in the back of a Metro bus.
Neighborhood politics are often messy, involving angry activists, grumps, bumbling bureaucrats and screwballs. Our neighborhood system of districts, councils, community groups and public process is often a clattering contraption that gets stuck in traffic snarls and feels far from state-of-the-art. If the passengers are reflective of the city's diversity and democracy, the system of dealing with their concerns doesn't always seem like an efficient conveyance. A lot of time is spent getting nowhere.
It's not the fault of the passengers. The city itself is conflicted about neighborhoods. Back in the Charles Royer administration, a Department of Neighborhoods was created to tap into grassroots energy and provide a pipeline for strengthening relations with communities that wanted something from the city, like basic attention.
Jim Diers, who headed the department from 1988 until the Greg Nickels administration, was a kind of grassroots pied piper who led the department and encouraged a bottom-up style of planning and activism — a fairly subversive model of government that cut against the top-down style of City Hall. After his election in 2001, Nickels sacked Diers signaling a less neighborly approach to decision making. Diers's bottom-up-ism was declared kaput.
So kaput that Mayor Ed Murray recently declared Diers prematurely dead. Embarrassing as that flub was, getting Diers' life status wrong happened as the new mayor was in the middle of fulfilling a campaign promise to hold a citywide Neighborhood Summit that would "renew" relations between City Hall and the nabes. One would think Diers, of all people, would be a featured member of Murray's team of neighborhood revivalists. Murray ought not only to have known that Diers was alive but should have been plundering his brain for ideas in anticipation of his April neighborhood confab, not writing his obit.
Still, the recent Neighborhood Summit was important. Seattle's disaffected hinterlands — almost anyplace outside of downtown — carry a lot of anger and distrust about city government's intentions and responsiveness. The neighborhoods were asked to plan for growth; most did, then saw their plans shelved, overrun by events, or ignored. Some neighborhoods have had to absorb more than their fair share of growth, others have seen affordable housing shunted aside for high-priced high-rises, most have seen potholes proliferate.
Every neighborhood has bones to pick — too much crime in South Seattle, too few sidewalks in North Seattle. And in the last two administrations — Nickels' and Mike McGinn's — there was a general sense that the grassroots were being paved over by downtown planners, top-down edicts and Astroturf groups posing as neighborhood advocates but acting more as developer shills.
Promising a summit during the campaign was a way for Murray to wisely woo the Peter Steinbrueck voters after their man lost the primary election, but also a chance to mend some needlessly broken fences, to give the neighborhoods their due, a forum, something — anything — positive. The hunger for that was evident at the summit. In what we were told was the first major neighborhood gathering since the Norm Rice years, hundreds of people filled the Exhibition Hall at Seattle Center April 5 to visit booths doling out information on city services, to listen to the mayor and others talk about the history of the neighborhood movement and to talk with each other about challenges, hopes and gripes.
The crowd was diverse, lively and mostly polite. The buzz was largely positive and the costumes less exotic than Comicon. As a first step in some kind of reconciliation process, it was a smart move. But it was light on substance and there was a palpable nervousness on the part of organizers that the crowd would turn angry. The mayor lectured about civility and shushed the crowd often so that speakers could be heard over the general din. He gave a good impression of a Nancy Pearl doll.

As always Knute has written an insightful article. But there is a piece missing that can shed some light on what's happening. A big part of the problem is that the people most actively involved in neighborhood activism are not representative of those neighborhoods. They tend to be older and whiter than the people who live around them. They are more focused on aesthetic concerns while many of their neighbors are focused on affordability. That sets up some major conflicts, as the older NIMBYs fight the new development that the younger people are counting on to allow them to afford to live in those neighborhoods - or in Seattle at all.
The shift to district elections is a very positive shift, then, since it takes debates about neighborhoods out of the unrepresentative and low-participation neighborhood councils and puts it into the much more representative and much higher participation City Council elections. It's a natural evolution, especially since the neighborhood system that Jim Diers and Jim Street envisioned has become obsolete.
Posted Wed, Apr 16, 4:53 p.m.
Excellent point. I've lived in Magnolia since the fall of 2012, and have so far been to exactly one public meeting relating to a neighborhood issue (the W. McGraw street end), because I simply don't have the time to make them, working over 40 hours a week on the other side of town. (I expect to have even less time after my first child arrives this fall.) I'm in my 30s and of mixed race. I'm part of the reason the meetings skew older and whiter. (That was certainly the case at the McGraw meeting.) Online surveys are really no substitute.
Posted Thu, Apr 17, 4:43 p.m.
While we certainly have no shortage of race and class tensions in Seattle, I don't think it's so easy to apply here. We mail ballots directly to people's homes now, and we still can't get increased participation -- especially from people under-40. so, if people can't be bothered to even take an hour to read a packet and vote, it's not surprising that they don't turn out to neighborhood and community meetings.
There's no question that we need to look at new ways -- and new technology -- to increase participation in these local groups, but my experience is that many of these groups WANT to be more diverse, but are continually challenged by the resources needed to do better outreach, particularly when it comes to translating materials. It would be great if they City was willing to support capacity building in this area.
Ultimately, though, MOST people could make the time to participate... but they have chosen not to. That's a perfectly reasonable choice to make, but then they don't get to complain that the folks who show up and speak the loudest get the attention. There are plenty of quality neighborhood blogs and listserves that cover issues and news, and a phone call or email to a City department or City Councilmember's office can be made while picking up a latte or waiting for the bus. Showing up isn't the only way to participate.
Posted Fri, Apr 18, 1:19 p.m.
"They are more focused on aesthetic concerns while many of their neighbors are focused on affordability. "
I think that they are focused on property values and protecting their investment, which is the reason behind aesthetic concerns. It isn't just appearances, but a very real loss of value in their homes if the neighborhood doesn't feel as welcoming as it once did.
This is of course the source the conflict you're talking about - affordability vs. property value. Both sides have valid points, unfortunately.

Thanks, Knute for starting the conversation!

"...chair of the Education and Governance Committee — has been tagged with implementing the new council district system — "
Well, isn't that the fox guarding the hen house. Current Council members get to implement the system?
Junipero, thanks so much for putting all neighborhood activists into one neat box. We are not all focused on "aesthetic" concerns - we are concerned about the health and well-being of ALL our neighbors and are keenly aware we don't represent everyone. We are not NIMBYs and to keep calling long-time activists that is wrong. But if it fits your narrative (and Roger Valdez'), sure.
I've lived in San Francisco (also a popular city). You can build a lot of new apartments - the rents generally never come down to truly affordable levels. That takes government intervention to happen.
I also look forward to district elections because my belief is that some who think the City Council is their home might be surprised at the outcomes of these elections.
Posted Wed, Apr 16, 4:54 p.m.
I believe he said activists tend to be that way, not that they all are that way.
Posted Wed, Apr 16, 5:13 p.m.
I disagree.
The current process is not working. I also disagree that government intervention on private property rents should happen.
If the government wants to fund low income properties, that's a tax decision and not a decision that harms private property owners.
San Fran is a beautiful city, but I would never live there, what a horrifying thought.

Unfortunately, the largest group of people who attend public meetings are loud activists.
There is no history of anyone elected ever actually listening to their constituents at a public meeting, which is the main reason normal people stay away. Why waste your breath?
Voters can't seem to elect the best people, also because normal people won't run for political office.
City planners are educated to dream up new cities, not to work with what they've got. Smart streets, smart growth, smart anything is everything but smart.
Posted Thu, Apr 17, 4:46 p.m.
"normal people won't run for political office"???
Plenty of "normal" people have run for office in the last few cycles. If you don't believe me, then you probably weren't paying attention. And if you weren't paying attention, donating money, or telling your friends about them, then why would you be surprised that they didn't make it through the Primary and/or get elected?
Posted Wed, Apr 16, 8:21 p.m.
You (Knute Berger) ask whether we should be "giving neighborhoods more say." As one of the primary movers of Charter 19, speaking for myself, I say that misses the point. "Neighborhoods" are not people. The point is to give people more say. In common1sense's terminology, empowering "normal people." Who happen to live in neighborhoods. The problem with governance in Seattle (and the U.S. and the world) is that it has become increasingly driven by inequities and polarized ideologies.
We live in a time of increasing resource limitations and environmental crises. There are direct linkages between growing inequity, loss of democracy, and environmental problems; too much economic class stratification is a contributing cause of civilization collapse. If we humans don't figure out how to be more democratic, we will end up in a very unpleasant situation.
Advocating for democracy is not a meaningless exercise. The push needs to happen at every level, but especially from the bottom up, because that is the essence of democracy. District city council elections is an opportunity to get a few more normal people elected into the policy making offices that make a big difference in our daily lives and the long term viability of our communities.

First off, there was a cross section of people at the meeting including professionals as you know. My impression of the mayor changed and I now feel we're in for years of more bureaucratic wrangling -- managing the City (any city) is much different that legislating at the state level. The vitality of the neighborhoods and neighborhood leaders in the common interest is gone; people are more self-centered and self appointed (and fragmented). The top-down development projects presented by the City were horrible -- not even close to representing the people's needs or the Northwest history -- more generic stuff by ego-centered developers, "monuments." People are depressed, over worked, frustrated, insecure. Everything is getting too expensive. And were did all these new people come from; very young and old but nothing in-between. Just some impressions. I think your view is very accurate - I know you've been watching the changes. Thanks. Keep up the good reporting.
Posted Thu, Apr 17, 8:59 a.m.
This is especially for Mr Lukoff - I have lived in Magnolia for 20 years and now I am retired so I have more time to loaf than he does. However, I do have a news source location here for him.
Earlier this week I was in Starbucks in the village. I learned that DPD has been hard at work and has found 56 areas in the city that should be more pedestrian friendly. Three of these locations are in Magnolia with the worst option being 21st and Dravus (too much vehicular traffic on one of the three entries/exits to the neighborhood).
It appears that DPD does not reach out directly to neighborhood residents but does do so at the 'council' level.
For those who want to see what might be going on under the radar in their neighborhood, the link is http://www.seattle.gov/dpd/cityplanning/completeprojectslist/mainstreetmapping/whatwhy/default.htm
In any case, try the village Starbucks for news - perhaps on a walk this weekend. After all, that was where the news broke about the BIG hole NW of BofA - 4000 sqft house w/4 car garage!
Posted Thu, Apr 17, 10:26 a.m.
Thanks! I should spend more time there. I'm actually closer to the 17th and Dravus Starbucks than to the one in the Village, but with the construction and turning of 17th into a one-way street, I think my days there are numbered.
Posted Mon, Apr 21, 1:23 p.m.
Information flow is a big challenge. It's a two way street, though. Trolling the DPD Planning Projects website and subscribing to the Land Use notices is about the only way to find out what is going on. I did have the DPD staff come to our community council meeting. It was well advertised, but even though city staff (unlike Nichols days) are willing to come and meet with any interested parties, only the few usual suspects showed up.
Folks also post articles about planning activities on the neighborhood website, and send out to the various list serves, and tell their neighbors. Just as with voting, seems like people don't want to find the time until they are upset about something and pull out the pitchforks.
Another issue is the impact of the decimation of the Neighborhoods 'system' and Neighborhood Planning in Seattle. This has left everyone at a communication deficit. The 'rats in a cage fighting' over grants aspect to achieve required infrastructure is to me the most disturbing aspect of our Neighborhoods 'system'.
This 'civility' stuff seems like a proposal to hold hands and sing kumbaya and life will be wonderful, just go on and continue the Seattle passive-aggressive ways, which we know, like the definition of insanity..... At the same time, a few volunteers burn out, are constantly angry and frustrated, and people pretty much understand they will be ignored by council -- probably even under this new district system.
Effective citizen action is happening after groups crop up and work to be heard, sometimes for a few years, and network with each other. Folks are finding each other -- and while it might include folks in the city 'system', it is much broader. I'm not sure that citizen lead action should ever be part of Seattle's 'system'.
However, for real neighborhood representation I think that there should be elected (on a real ballot) individuals, with a clear scope, responsibility, and the accountability of being elected out, written into the city charter. This would protect the neighborhood voice at a micro level from the vagaries of the current electeds, even within a council district.
Posted Fri, Apr 18, 2:38 p.m.
The idea that aesthetic concerns are in opposition to affordability is false. This is the usual line of developers and their shills. Developers don't built affordable housing, they build the most expensive structures they think they can sell. The idea that increasing housing density in Seattle will result in more affordable housing is largely false as well. New construction is expensive and is almost always more expensive than what it replaces. Highly skewed income distribution has a large number of well-to-do individuals chasing limited housing in desirable neighborhoods like Ballard, Magnolia and Wallingford. Empty lots on Beacon Hill stay empty.
Current zoning laws require neighborhoods to be vigilant. If you accept multi-family or commercial incursions then the character of the neighborhood is deemed to have changed to make subsequent changes easier.
Neighborhood stability is anchored by homeowners, be they old or young, white or not. If I'm renting and the area goes to shit I can give notice and move. Not so easy if I own my home and hold it as my major financial asset. It's absurd to hear developers piss and moan about NIMBY attitudes. They are not advocates for the poor and downtrodden.
As for participation in meetings, people with full time jobs and/or families don't have a lot of time to hang out in public meetings. A long-time local activist once remarked, "developers never sleep." (Most of the meetings I've attended are window-dressing in any case. Process may require public input but it doesn't require decisions to take that input into account.)
Posted Mon, Apr 21, 10:55 a.m.
I'm not a developer. I don't care much for them, but they are a necessary evil. The fact is that without new supply, you get San Francisco, where everyone is bidding up the price of the small amount of housing stock that exists. SF adds a tiny amount of new housing each year, too little to help. New construction isn't going to be affordable, but that's not its purpose. New construction exists to house the Amazon and Microsoft workers who can afford it. By living there, they are not displacing someone currently living in a unit whose rent is still somewhat affordable.
You talk about things like "neighborhood stability" but I'm sorry, when people can't afford to live here, then things like that have to go down the list of priorities. Help make Seattle more affordable by building more housing and then you'll get the rest of us interested in aesthetics and neighborhood character.
Posted Sun, Apr 27, 9:40 p.m.
"More" rarely results in "cheaper." It is simply not true that building more housing for high tech workers doesn't displace lower income residents. It most certainly does; the shift in demographics that happens when a locale upscales is the essence of gentrification.
Posted Sat, Apr 19, 12:28 p.m.
Many of the issues that drove neighborhoods to vote for single-member districts likely were land use issues. The emergence of groups like "One House per Lot" and "Coalition for an Affordable and Livable Seattle" suggests that neighborhoods which have felt under siege in recent years are getting organized to fight what they perceive as an unresponsive city government (especially DPD). In the state legislature Murray never had to address land use issues, and he did not talk much about land use in his campaign, but I suggest that land use issues will be an increasing focus, particularly for a Council with a majority of representatives who do not have to run city-wide campaigns.

There is nothing 'organic' about total rezones and forced new construtction into a neighborhood or area. Take Ballard for example.
Please. Take Ballard.
My grandparents would roll over in their graves. Even the new Safeway is filthy.
Where is the PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP? When the middle class got beat to death in this recession, that was the demise of an old, stable part of our society. Now, we see new, dense housing where basically anyone can buy a spiffy new home, attached on the sides, and live there a few years, then become a landlord. Well, guess what?
Those 6-pack Ballard townhomes look like crap when they are taken over by renters instead of homeowners.
Organic? Only if you prefer so much turnover you couldn't hope to forge decades long relationships with your neighbors. If that is the new, improved Seattle that the politicians think is healthy, they'd better wise up, and fast.

Some words about my gramps ...
Obituary printed in the London Times.....Absolutely Dead Brilliant !!
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- And maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. He declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers;
- I Know My Rights
- I Want It Now
- Someone else Is To Blame
- I'm A Victim
- Pay me for Doing Nothing
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

IMO, it's lame. If you just read the comments here at CC you would think the world is coming to an end and that sometime in the recent past it was all rainbows and ponies.

After what Seattle's city pooh-bahs did to Roosevelt, any interest I had in participating in any of these committees vanished. Plainly put: Seattle is run by a corrupt elite, and "citizen involvement" is strictly for appearances' sake. I see no reason whatsoever to waste my time in any of these sham meetings.

Levulan Photo Dynamic Therapy
What is Photo Dynamic Therapy?
Photorejuvenation using intense pulsed light (IPL) is now the gold standard of non-ablative skin treatments. The most recent advance in photorejuvenation is photodynamic therapy (PDT) combined with IPL, known as photodynamic skin rejuvenation. Photodynamic skin rejuvenation involves the application of Levulan, a photosensitizing agent, which is then activated with IPL and blue-light. This results in significant improvement in precancerous conditions such as AKs, actinically damaged skin, sun damaged skin, moderate to severe cystic acne and potentially superficial skin cancers. Additionally it can improve wrinkles, pore size, skin texture, pigmentation, rosacea, sebaceous hyperplasia, and potentially prevents the development of skin cancer. Levulan is revolutionizing how we perform skin rejuvenation and how we treat sun damaged skin.
• Removes precancerous skin lesions
• Helps prevent skin cancer
• Improves wrinkles
• Improves pores
• Improves skin texture
• Improves pigmentation
• Treats moderate to severe cystic acne

Pictured above is Denise Manco, 35, left and Rondell Moore, 37, right, of Toms River, New Jersey. Currently being charged for the death of their 11 month old child in 2008, known only as "Baby JM". Manco and Moore tried to ease the pains of teething for their child by putting heroin on his gums, resulting in the overdose that killed him.
Story from DailyMail.co.uk
Parents of an infant pleaded guilty to placing heroin on their infant son's gums in 2008 because he was teething. The child, identified only as 'Baby JM,' died a short time later from heroin intoxication.
Denise Manco, 35, and 37-year-old Rondell Moore of Toms River, New Jersey, entered guilty pleas earlier this week to one count of second-degree manslaughter, Ocean County prosecutors said today.
Just how the 11-month-old boy ingested the heroin had remained a mystery until investigators in Ocean County got new information in the Seaside Heights case in October.
On September 12, 2008, Baby JM was found unresponsive at their home in Seaside Heights by local police.
Despite being rushed to the Community Medical Center in nearby Toms River, the boy was declared dead.
In October of 2012, new, credible information came to light that the toddler did not ingest the drug by accident, though the prosecutor's office would not reveal what the specific new information was.
Seaside Heights' police chief Thomas Boyd told the New Jersey Star-Ledger that the parents' actions were 'unfathomable.'
He added: 'You just sit back and you ask is the world going crazy, or am I?'
Authorities say both defendants admitted placing heroin in the baby's mouth and rubbing it on his gums because he was teething.
According to the Asbury Park Press, both people could face a sentence of up to 10 years if convicted.
Their sentencing is scheduled for next month.
Kill em both. No excuses. 1st Degree murder…regardless of what they were thinking…a calculated act. Same as shaking a baby to death, you know what will happen. Death penalty is the only answer.
and to think only ten years. yet some one who took computer files that he had paid was going to get 50 years until he hung him self.
i think they should get a fatal dose of heroin
A teething ring would have worked wonders.
Why in God's name did that woman let a monkey NEAR her child??? This is what happens when you get too friendly with a hostile species.
They killed their baby yet she looks happy and he looks bored in the mugshots. No remorse whatsoever. Give them a fatal dose of heroin, they are both a waste of oxygen.
Only 10 years!? So will they be young enough to procreate again when they get out? WTH! People who have committed lesser crimes have gotten stiffer sentences. These scumbags need to be put to death!
Fry them both.
if they dont get the death penalty i would be more than happy to have an accident and run them dow on the way to court.. i dealt with my kids teething with ice cream and popcicles..heroin..wtf i hope a broom magically finds its way up their asses
This is why I believe that when addicts give birth they shouldn't be aloud to leave the hospital with their babies, if you're an addict don't drag an innocent child into your junked up world
They should both be sterilized.
What I'd like to know is why it took the DA *FOUR* years to bring charges against these twat waffles?! WTF?!?!?!
I used to babysit for a lady that gave me a bottle of whiskey for her kids teething pains. She told me to rub some on her gums when she was cranky. That fucking kid cried so much I was convinced that the whiskey was there for me to slam.
Back to these two pieces of shit, let the sexual predators have a go at em for the whole 10 years.
Typical stupidity from a mudshark and her buck.
That's how they did it in the late 1800's oddly enough.
I hope they rid society of these wastes of space.
how do do only get 10 years for such a crime?
her punishment will be from the AIDS she likely contracted from tyrone.
Amazing that they thought heroin would be a cheaper/safer alternative to a teething ring or just some soothing gel.
time for some shotgun & pull the trigger ememas
for them both
I swear some people. Teething is not an easy time but to rub a known narcotic on your baby's gums is just plain idiotic. I once had someone tell me to give my daughter a pork chop bone to chew on but I didn't do it because I had sense enough to know it wasn't right. There are plenty of OTC teething medications or ways to soothe gums without using what these two idiots did.
They are not two shit piles that deserve to die. Unless you look at it this way, the kid was probably going to also grow up to be shit so they did society a favor.
Murder is murder. Im sorry to say this but its a good thing the baby died so he wouldnt be stuck with these fucktards forever. Rip little man. Youre in a better place now
wow lmao u can buy heroin but cant get a teething ring or teething gel? wow fuckin bitches i hope they die in jail
Get the E Street band and Kevin Smith out of NJ then blow it up.
People are so fucking stupid!!!!! They should be sterilized

Treatment for breast cancer almost always begins with a decision about the type of surgery. The options are mastectomy, a procedure that involves removal of the entire affected breast; or lumpectomy, a procedure to remove the malignant lump and a margin of healthy tissue around all edges of the tumor. A lumpectomy also is called breast-conserving therapy, or BCT. When a lumpectomy is performed, it generally is followed by radiation therapy to prevent the cancer from recurring in the same breast. The goal of BCT is to maintain the cosmetic appearance of the breast without decreasing a woman's chance of surviving breast cancer.
Up to 80 percent of women with early-stage breast cancer can be treated with BCT. For these women, mastectomy and lumpectomy with radiation offer the same chance of long-term survival.
A woman is considered a good candidate for lumpectomy if her tumor is localized to one area of the breast. Most women with breast cancer qualify as candidates for lumpectomy. However, there are other considerations:
- Cosmetic results may not be good in women who have relatively large lumps in small breasts.
- If there is more than one lump, there is concern that other areas of the breast could have cancer as well. In this case, a mastectomy is the preferred therapy.
- Women who are unwilling or unable to have follow-up radiation treatments may not be good candidates for lumpectomy. Radiation typically is given five days a week for five to six weeks after surgery. Patients who live far from a hospital or medical center that provides radiation therapy may find it impossible to travel back and forth for daily treatment.
- Women who previously have had radiation therapy to their breast or chest area might not be able to undergo further breast radiation. In this case, mastectomy is the preferred therapy.
A mastectomy usually involves removing the breast and some lymph nodes located under the arm (an axillary lymph node dissection). After the lymph nodes are removed, they are examined by a pathologist to check for cancer cells. The information about the presence or absence of cancer cells in the axillary lymph nodes is essential in determining the patient's prognosis and stage, and the need for further therapy.
It's important to consult a plastic surgeon before surgery. This consultation can help women make a better decision about whether to have the reconstruction done immediately (during the surgery) or defer it to a later time.
The number of days spent in the hospital varies. Occasionally, mastectomy without reconstruction may be performed as same-day surgery. After surgery, most women need to do special exercises to overcome stiffness and regain mobility in the arm on the side of the mastectomy.
Removing Lymph Nodes
Most breast-cancer surgery requires the removal of some axillary (underarm) lymph nodes to check for the presence of cancer cells. The most commonly performed procedure is called an axillary dissection — the removal of a wedge of fat from the underarm that usually contains between 10 and 15 lymph nodes. An alternative method, called sentinel-node mapping, relies on identifying and removing only the one or two lymph nodes closest to the tumor. If no cancer is found in the sentinel nodes, then no more lymph nodes are removed.
The lymph nodes can be removed in the course of a mastectomy. With lumpectomy, a separate incision usually is made to remove the wedge of fat that contains the nodes. Either way, most patients wake up from surgery to find a drain emerging from the underarm area to remove any fluid that accumulates.
After the lymph nodes are removed, they are examined under the microscope to check for the presence of cancer cells. The need for additional treatment after surgery depends on whether some nodes are positive for cancer.
Several potential complications are associated with lymph-node removal. One potential side effect is lymphedema, a swelling in the arm caused by the accumulation of fluid that doesn't drain properly. Lymphedema occurs much less often today because the current surgical techniques involve the removal of fewer lymph nodes than the more extensive procedures of the past. Swelling can range from barely noticeable to an obvious enlargement of the arm. It can be either painless or painful.
Another potential complication is some loss of sensation under your arm. When the surgeon makes an incision in your skin, it can damage nerves in the area. The numbness won't affect the use of your arm.
Radiation therapy (sometimes called radiotherapy) almost always is recommended after lumpectomy to destroy any cancer cells left behind and to prevent local recurrences in the breast. Without radiation therapy, the odds of a local recurrence increase by about 25 percent. Radiation therapy is also sometimes recommended after mastectomy, depending on the size and other characteristics of the breast tumor.
Fatigue is a common side effect of radiation, and many women experience swelling or a sensation of heaviness of the breast. Most of these changes in the breast are temporary and will go away within a few months to a year. Some women, however, notice that their breasts are smaller and firmer after the treatment. This can be permanent. Radiation therapy is not given to pregnant women because it can cause birth defects.
After surgery, certain patients will be offered chemotherapy (anti-cancer drugs) to improve their chance of survival. In other cases, chemotherapy may be recommended before surgery to shrink the tumor before it is removed. Before recommending chemotherapy, your doctor will consider the stage of your cancer and the prognosis. If chemotherapy is necessary, treatment typically is given over a period of three to six months. Usually a combination of drugs is used. The specific combination depends on the individual case.
Chemotherapy commonly causes side effects. The severity and type of symptoms experienced varies with each person and with the type of drugs given, the dosage of the drugs and the length of time the patient is treated. Fatigue is the most common side effect associated with chemotherapy. The gastrointestinal tract often is damaged temporarily by the chemotherapy drugs, so nausea, vomiting, mouth sores and decreased appetite are common. Many patients also experience hair loss and menstrual irregularities. Chemotherapy can inhibit the production of blood cells in the bone marrow. This can:
- Cause anemia (by inhibiting the production of red blood cells)
- Increase your risk of infection (by decreasing the number of your infection-fighting white-blood cells)
- Lead to bleeding (by causing your platelet counts to drop).
Side effects from chemotherapy are treatable. A variety of medications are available to minimize nausea and vomiting. If blood counts fall dramatically, medications that stimulate the bone marrow to boost production of blood cells may be given.
Hormonal Therapy
Hormonal therapy works by inhibiting tumor growth that is stimulated by hormones. Tumors that are estrogen- or progesterone-receptor positive are more likely to respond to hormonal therapy than are tumors without these hormone receptors. There are several drugs that act as estrogen blockers. Tamoxifen has been around the longest. It is prescribed for women with early stage breast cancer and for women at high risk of developing breast cancer. iIt can cause hot flashes and. Tamoxifen also increases the risk of blood clots and uterine cancer.
For patients with metastatic breast cancer, hormonal therapies are often given to prolong life expectancy and reduce symptoms. It may be given with chemotherapy. Premenopausal women are often treated with tamoxifen and a second medication to suppress hormonal production by the ovaries. Postmenopausal women may be treated with a variety of medications to block the estrogen receptor, including tamoxifen, anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane.

MARTIN, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin baseball team was tied with Southern Illinois through five innings this afternoon but the Salukis accounted for the final four runs of the game to deal the Skyhawks a 6-2 loss in their 2014 home opener at Skyhawk Field.
Redshirt senior Alex Boshers put together another solid effort this afternoon for UT Martin (1-7), allowing just two runs on three hits through five frames. After allowing two runs in the top of the first, he settled in and allowed the Skyhawks to eventually tie the game before departing.
Stu Jones, John Skubina and John Houston combined for 2.1 no-hit innings in relief, fanning four batters in the process. Carter Smith (0-1) took the loss after conceding four runs in 1.2 innings of work.
At the plate, the Skyhawks were held to two hits but drew a season-high nine walks at the dish. Drew Erie and Fletcher Johnson recorded back-to-back RBI singles in the bottom of the fourth while Chase Young drew four walks out of the No. 2 hole in the lineup.
After Southern Illinois (5-2) scored a pair of runs in the top of the first, the Skyhawks loaded the bases in the bottom half but couldn't get on the scoreboard.
Boshers worked out of trouble in the second and pitched around a leadoff double in the third to keep the Salukis off the scoreboard. Right fielder Taylor Cox helped out Boshers with a full-extension, diving catch to his right for the third out of the second inning, stranding a pair of runners.
Boshers escaped a jam in the fourth when a pair of Skyhawk errors loaded the bases with one out. Southern Illinois then appeared to add to its lead thanks to a sacrifice fly but the Skyhawks won an appeal when the umpire ruled that the Saluki baserunner had tagged up too early on the close play at the plate.
With momentum shifting to UT Martin's side after the reversed call, Cox (fielder's choice) and Zack Malone (hit by pitch) both reached base with one out, setting up Erie for his RBI single into center to split the Skyhawk deficit in half at 2-1. Six pitches later, Johnson lined a single into center to bring in Malone and tie the score at 2-all.
Boshers got two quick outs and was unscathed after back-to-back walks in his fifth and final frame.
Southern Illinois scored once in the top of the sixth but a pair of strikeouts by Smith shut the door on a potential rally. The Salukis then led off the seventh with a solo homer and tacked on two more runs in the frame until Jones came on to record the final out of the inning on three pitches.
Skubina tallied a pair of strikeouts in a scoreless eighth while Houston didn't allow a ball out of the infield in a shutout ninth inning. However, UT Martin's bats went cold late and the Salukis held on for the win.
The Skyhawks begin an eight games in 10 days road swing with a weekend series at Stephen F. Austin from Feb. 28 – March 2.

The Hotel Residence Miramare is closed from 26th October 2014 to 2nd April 2015
The Miramare Residence Hotel is an aparthotel with sea-sight situated at Capo di Sorrento, one of the most suggestive areas of the town.
In the wonderful scenery of the Sorrento Coast, not far from the old town centre of Sorrento, the Miramare Residence Hotel is an elegant villa from which you will be able to enjoy a panoramic sight on the Gulf of Naples and on the main natural attractions of the area.
The Miramare Residence offers the comforts and the advantages of a hotel with the freedom of a holiday-house in which you'll be able to live and fully enjoy the great attractions of such a renowned tourist centre as Sorrento.
Kerry Mac
We stayed in June 2014. Our room had a balcony with a majestic view over the Bay of Naples. From the pool and the breakfast area were more views. The bed was comfortable as were the pillows. There was a little kitchen if you anted to cook something light but we ate out . Breakfast was tasty . The main foyer doors do open straight onto the road but there was room to walk ( you just had to remember to watch for traffic). A bus to town passes by the door with a bus stop a few metres away.
Jette Bach Sorensen
We have stayed at Miramare several times, and never get tired of this wonderfull place. We always enjoy the beautiful views from the hotel.
The staff is very kind and helpfull and we have only good things to say about Miramare. It's easy to walk into town and reach trains, busses and boats to all the other beautiful places in the Bay of Napoli.
Peter and Jette, Denmark
We had a really pleasant stay at Miramare. Looking forward for our next visit.
Thanks so much
Samantha Covington
I stayed at the Miramare in May (2012) and when I booked Gabriella said she would give me a room with view. I didn't realise she meant a fabulous view through the cypress trees, across the Golfo di Napoli to Vesuvius!
The hotel is a lovely walk up from the town, with sweeping views of the Marina Piccola or one can take a bus. The members of staff are delightful and helpful; the kitchenette in the wardrobe was such an added bonus and I shall make more use of it when I return there on Friday.
Non vedo l'ora!
We have just returned home after spending 2 weeks at this great hotel.
We did upgrade our room for a seaview and we were given the garden terrace which had a fabulous view of the bay. We were very impressed with the service of this hotel, the reception staff were very courteous and gave us good information regarding the tours, we visited Capri which is pretty, but we did prefer Amalfi and we also took in the tour of Vesuvius & Herculaneum which was a full day. The hotel pool was a added bonus especially with the hot weather. The road outside the hotel can be rather daunting but don't let this put you off, the walk into town is worth it, in particular on the way down you pass the Taverna Sorrentina (Sweet Dreams) well worth a visit their pasta and pizza's are great and well recommended. All in all we had a fabulous two weeks at Hotel Miramare and would definately come again.

"Wonderful stay at Hotel Miramare"
- Hotel Miramare in Sorrento is an absolutely lovely and wonderful place to spend time while visiting Sorrento, Italy! Our time at the beautiful Hotel Miramare was relaxing and very pleasant as we enjoyed the beautiful views of the sea and the town below from our room balcony as well as from the many balcony areas of the resort. The staff went out of their way to answer any questions we had concerning the surrounding area, to provide help and provide a nice breakfast in the mornings. We enjoyed the pool, various areas to sunbathe at the hotel and the amenities of our room. When we visit Sorrento again, Hotel Miramare will be our first choice in places to stay! Thank you for providing us with a lovely experience while in Sorrento!
Gentry Family, North Carolina, USA
Gabriella, Peepoe, Franco and Staff,
Thank you so much for making our stay at the Miramare such a wonderful experience!! You were so kind and so helpful, we appreciated it greatly. We love Sorrento, and the location of the Miramare and hope to return soon!

We have actually 3 polkit agent implementations in Portage: gnome-extra/polkit-gnome lxde-base/lxpolkit sys-auth/polkit-kde-agent I guess a virtual is required. Just a simple example, gnome-extra/nm-applet requires a polkit auth agent (not present in RDEPEND atm -- bug!) in order to handle wifi passwords, etc. But the same applet can be used in both GNOME and LXDE, making lxpolkit a better choice over polkit-gnome for the latter. My proposal is to create a virtual pkg listing all the polkit auth agent implementations and make pkgs depend on it. -- Fabio Erculiani
