Several years ago, I visited one of my favorite antique malls, the Lake O Antique Mall in Lake Odessa, Michigan. I spotted a set of seven framed chromolithograph prints that were simply stunning. They depicted various interior scenes from retail shops and were all dated 1927. The seller told me they came from a catalog sent to optometrist's offices. Perhaps the catalog was meant to be left in the waiting room to be viewed, or the prints were meant for the optometrist to frame.
Let me show you one of them to get us going:
A slightly closer look of the butcher shop. Notice the light fixtures, the clothing worn by the customers, and the unusual glass booths in which the clerks sit:
This one might be my favorite, because of the bold colors and abundant details:
The little boy is helping his mother by loading his wagon with their groceries. Isn't that sweet?
This is my other favorite: the soda fountain!
I'm sure we appreciate it for the same reason....the mural behind the bar is magnificent, isn't it? And so many other things are wonderful, too:
I like this bakery print a lot. The little boy is holding a pretzel:
The woman is sporting a "Marcel" hairdo, which was all the rage in the 1920's:
Another stop at the butcher shop:
The little girl resembles Shirley Temple, doesn't she?
I love the ceiling detail, the light fixtures, candlestick phone, and the little girl eying the baked goods:
These prints are so precious because they depict everyday life during the "roaring twenties", including the clothing, decor, food, and store displays.
When I bought these, they had been framed with acid free backing and UV-protective glass. I'd love to see them with vintage frames, but they didn't come with frames originally and it will be difficult to find the proper size vintage frames for them. For now, I'm selling them with the newer frames.

Young hero Ram Charan is going places with the kind of assignments he is undertaking. Slowly, he is setting out a perfect example in planning one's career and this is a shock for industry's many big heroes.
Till he announced 'Rachcha', mud was shot on this young hero regarding his upcoming flick. It took some time for this young man to come out of the debacle of 'Orange'. Even after announcing 'Racchha', Cherry encountered lot of criticism for delays in the flick. As the film is nearing completion, Charan is shocking everyone by signing films back to back with top slot directors.
After 'Rachcha', Vamsi Padipalli's Yevadu is the venture of Charan, which is immediately followed by VV Vinayak's movie. According to the buzz, Srinu Vytla's project will be followed after the completion of these two movies under the production of Ashwini Dutt. Barely 3 movies old, Ram Charan's meticulous planning and serious execution is the talked about news all over industry.

text: For $1.99, this is a damn good lipgloss. I bought it in African Queen (very similar to L'Oreal Seafleur, a blue-pearl fuchsia) and Vixen (a deep burgundy-gold). The smell is a little funky, like lanolin or petroleum, but the color coverage is outstanding and I find it to have quite a high, glossy shine. It's got the color or a lipstick but the shine of a gloss. Be aware when choosing shades-- it WILL look just as dark or bright on lips as it does in the tube! Nice, smooth, non-sticky texture, too.

Has anyone ever done a mosaic on a fairy house?
I have been asked to give a presentation for a Master Gardener workshop the end of February. I want to do something different and one of the hottest new garden trends is to create your own fairy garden...a tiny minature garden. Of course, it is January in Iowa so I can't show one outside right now (mine is under about a foot of snow), but can create a small hypertufa container garden filled with fairy things. Thinking to use tiny birdhouses and turn them into fairy houses. So they need to look "forestry". Like...covering them with polished stones or twigs and covering the roof with evergreen mosses. Any other suggestions or ideas? Thanks. becky |
Follow-Up Postings:
Check out this amazing creation I found on a blog. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Mosaic Queen's fairy house

OMG!!! I LOVE that!!! WOW!!! |
Here's a suggestion. In Google images, type in gnome houses and check out the selection. They may be more what you're looking for. You can even buy doors for your gnome house. |

Queens Fairy House is the cutest thing I've ever seen!!!! |
Thank you everyone. I knew I would get some terrific advice here. I was amazed whenI goggled fairy houses images. There are thousands! And I am not thinking of the same scale as mosaicqueen's fairy house, but sure did enjoying reading her blog and viewing her creations. I am working on a couple right now, and will definately post a picture when I get done. I have some cool ideas running through my head! Thanks again, becky |
- Posted by slowmedown (My Page) on Tue, Feb 23, 10 at 18:25
MY GOODNESS, BECKY: I'd say you are waaaaay ready for your workshop. These are the cutest things. I LOVE every one of them, as well as the containers you chose. What a great collection. They'll fit not only in the garden, but on a patio or anywhere, really. |

TSA Seeks Permission to Conduct "Security Assessments" on Highways
Submitted by emalvini on Tue, 12/04/2012 - 12:42Greasing the skids for airport-style pat downs on the interstate
Paul Joseph Watson | Infowars.com
The TSA is seeking permission from the Office of Management and Budget to conduct "security assessments" on highways as well as at 140 other public transportation hubs, including bus depots and train stations.
The request was buried amidst a deluge of jargon and published in the Federal Register on November 30.
If approved, it would allow the TSA to to "conduct transportation security-related assessments during site visits with security and operating officials of surface transportation entities."
"Similarly, TSA wants to conduct on-site assessments with public agencies that run buses, rail transit, long-distance rail and less common types of service, such as cable cars, inclined planes, funiculars and automated guide way systems," reports Government Security News.

Must need (want) more money.
Caertainly can't be because their airport endeavors has proven successful.

So we need people to comment to the Federal Register notice
address asking where in the law they get that right and why doesn't congress or don't the states in question have to approve it?

Government intrusion
Not surprising news here, any liberty minded individual should have seen this coming...this is nothing but more government intrusion into people's lives.
So this is what they meant when they said they would "strengthen" the patriot act...back in 2011 during all those debates.
This was their way of "softening" up the target...to make the sheeple conditioned, so when it happens they think they're being protected.
What a royal crock of BS...
This TSA will grow and grow into a monster one day and become very brutal against our children...you will see, unless Rand and his cohorts can get something done. I just don't see anyone else caring enough to put a stop to this crap.
Thank you Rand for what you're trying to do for LIBERTY.

Such bureaucratic policies and procedures
are not unlike those employed by the KGB of the communist USSR and the GESTAPO of the Hitler's democratic, socialist Germany. Of course, no matter the label, the enforced results were tyranny through public consent. Yes, the top dogs were Stalin and Hitler whose, eventual, arbitrary designs for government were acceded to by millions of abettors, and such is the situation for U.S. governance, today.
As a peaceful resolution to the problem, it would appear best for the U.S. if folks who continue to demand Constitutional governance do just that and those who are opposed to the Constitution and the Bill OF Rights can elect to live by the arbitrary rule of whomever they may select, if, indeed, such a selection is genuinely achieved. So, Constitutionalists would abide the rule of law and others would abide the rule of rulers. No geographical concerns would be necessary because like minded people would gravitate to same regions.
Expand on the subject as necessary. One would expect Constitutinalists to be in support of the above outcome and all others would find it unacceptable. Need we ask, "why"?

PIMPING their VOTES~~
That's all this is about---the government political prostitutes who are pimping new jobs with new benefits for new TSA people who will vote for them and do their bidding---all against "We the People".
Never mind our "rights" to privacy or our say-so as to what we think about spending gazillions more taxpayer dollars. Nope...just forget us...dang jerks.

If this gains traction
can someone please let the rest of us know so we can buy stock in the Trapster app? I have a feeling it will suddenly get very popular.
It's an online system for reporting and avoiding speed traps, pull-overs and police in general. In the bigger cities, it's so popular that your 'radar' is nearly always accurate.

How secure are you on US hiways? 39 K deaths each year.

In just one year, 39,000 deaths occurred on our US highways. This is as reported by the US Census, year 2009. Link above provides breakdown by state. Hundreds of related statistics are include in the table. No explanation given. Perhaps the TSA will stubble upon answers as they investigate unrelated matters.

Been quite a few bus accidents lately. I guess it all depends on which way the bus tips ;)
From now on I am seriously considering the train. No lights, traffic, wear and tear, fuel, tolls, bathroom breaks, etc.
The only thing is, you are pretty much limited when you arrive.
At least you can move around on a train. Riding trains in Europe was pretty fun and cheap as I recall. You could hang-out outside on the back and have a smoke if need be. Perhaps this has changed now.
I will never forget that I almost accidently boarded a train, not knowing the language, to Moscow OMG The train was something from WWII...no make that WWI !!! I thought this could not possibly be the train to Stuttgart !!
...If I got on that train, there is no way in my mind, then and now, that I would of ever returned. Just seeing the thing and standing next to it, it had the scent and atmosphere of death and suffering :O Can't explain it, but it was really creepy.

EDIT 11/2014: I am SO bummed to find out this has been discontinued! I have been snapping all the remaining tubes from ebay etc. Why oh why does every beauty product I love get discontinued?! Hope the 20 tubes I have will last me awhile.....
Orig. review: I love this lotion and have been using it everyday for weeks. I got it for half-price from HauteLook and it was a total steal. I have very sensitive, reactive, rosacean, superdry, flaky skin that breaks out from almost every sunscreen I've ever tried. I also burn really easily, often right through sunscreen. This lotion is fantastic - it protects really well and hasn't caused any acne or redness. No white cast, no greasy sheen, and it doesn't ball up when I apply makeup over it. Best of all, this doesn't cause breakouts - I swear my skin looks better when I wear this every day. I do think it's strange that it's recommended for oily skin because I think it would be too moisturizing for oily skin. For my dry skin, it's the perfect amount of moisture for the dry winter months. LOVE this stuff and will buy it forever!

This appears to be nearly identical to the more expensive (and original) Kinerase cream version. Now mind you, Kinerase has the lotion and cream and I have used both; this one is more like the Kinerase cream. However, I do see a very slight difference between the costlier version and Dr. Lewinn, in that this spf 30 cream seems to leave my skin a bit oilier; despite it being targeted for normal/oily skin types. The results are exactly the same as the Kinerase and both moisturize my skin very well and keep it that way all day, as well as leaving my face more even and glowing, with seemingly refined pores. A good less expensive option than Kinerase (which, btw is manufactured by Valeant which is Kinerase's new manufacturer; used to be made by ICN Pharmaceuticals but was sold about six years ago to Valeant). FYI.

This moisturizer makes my face very shiny. I thought that because it was made for oily skin it would help to mattify, but not at all. By the end of the day, it's getting in my eyes & burning! I like that it has SPF 30, but for the 28.00(or much less) that I paid for this I'm sure I can find something better.

This is the best moisturizer I have used to solve my acne prone, sensitive, oily, aging, and retin-A flaking skin. I love that it has SPF 30 and that you can get it at Walgreens :) It's not cheap but it's no more expensive than any high end moisturizer. The regular Kinerase stuff is way more expensive!

Know the Implications of Your Fibroid Treatment OptionsWomen may not be fully informed about the implications of their treatment decision. Factors include recovery time (return to work and daily living), symptom recurrence rate, need for post-procedure hormone replacement therapy, the risk of early menopause, cost and additional effects on the body.
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)Uterine fibroid embolization, sometimes called uterine artery embolization, is a non-surgical treatment that involves cutting off the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink. UFE takes about one hour to complete, provides symptom control comparable to surgery, with a significantly shorter recovery time in approximately two weeks. UFE is performed by an interventional radiologist (IR), usually as an outpatient hospital procedure. Uterine fibroid embolization is not intended for women who desire future pregnancy. However, several studies have shown that women actively trying to become pregnant following UFE were able to do so.
HysterectomyA hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and often times the ovaries. The procedure usually requires a four-to-six week recovery period, and has a perceived association with numerous other long-term physical and psychological effects including incontinence, loss of sexual pleasure and depression. If the ovaries are removed along with the uterus before a woman reaches menopause, her risk of osteoporosis and heart disease increases. She may also need to consider if hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is necessary to control symptoms of surgical menopause. A woman is no longer able to have children after having a hysterectomy.
MyomectomyA myomectomy is the surgical removal of fibroids while leaving the uterus in place. Since the uterus is left in place, a woman undergoing a myomectomy may still be able to have children. Like hysterectomy, a myomectomy is invasive and requires a long recovery period. There is also no guarantee that the fibroids will not return. Some studies have shown that up to 46% of women have recurring fibroid symptoms two years after their myomectomy. Short-Term Fibroid Reilef MedicationMedications called GnRH agonists offer short-term relief from fibroid symptoms. GnRH agonists induce a temporary chemical menopause by reducing estrogen levels causing the fibroids to decrease in size. However, the fibroids usually grow back to their pre-treatment size when the medication is discontinued.

Comments about Fleecy Gel Seat Cushion:
I have spinal stennois in two disc in my back which limits me mobility wise. Thus I spend a lot of timesitting in chairs. With the use of this cushion, I am able to go long periods of time eith a large reduction in "bottom" problems. As I said, this allows me a higher level of care then just sitting on a hard (normal) chair. Its worth the cost because it gives good support to my buttocks

Many residential contractors are unaware that they can be fined by OSHA along with a sub contractor working unsafe on their job site. If OSHA stops at the General Contractors job site and cites a painting or roofing contractor for fall protection violations the GC may also be fined. OSHA states that it is the employers responsibility to ensure that all workers (employees and subcontractors) have safe working conditions. OSHA look at subs as workers.

Contractor Business Coaching Design/Build Training CSL/CEU Training Fall Protection Training
OSHA respiratory training for Massachusetts RRP trained contractors. Seats are still available for 5/26/2011 for training in Marlborough Mass.
The Patrick and Murray administration from Massachusetts just announced a new program for Massachusetts citizens. The program is a free web based tool that will allow homeowners and businesses to verify workmen's compensation for Massachusetts contractors and other businesses.
Mass DOS announced it is planning on increasing RRP enforcement on contractors as soon as spring breaks. On Friday 3/11/2011 I attended the Mass DOS meeting with Mass RRP Training Providers. I asked several times how are they going to handle enforcement of contractors who are non compliant.
Mass RRP trained contractors are holding back on applying for their Lead License. Last month I posted that there are over 4,000 EPA Certified Firms from Mass. Yet only 1000 firms have applied for their Mass license since 7/9/2011 when Mass took over. You would think that since the Mass license for firms certified before July is free that more would jump on board.
I searched the EPA website to see how many contractors had become Certified Firms with the EPA from Massachusetts. The search result showed there are just over 4,000 EPA Certified Firms in Massachusetts.
Not too long ago we predicted that homeowners would soon look more carefully into a contractors legal status and EPA RRP certification. One thing we didn't anticipate was a homeowner inquiring about a contractors compliance with OSHA requirements.
EPA RRP Trained contractors are implementing the use of negative air machines to obtain positive testimonials and referrals from their customers.
Homeowners, looking for the cheapest price are hiring illegal contractors at an alarming rate. Homeowners read and listen to the news and think that they can beat up any contractor to get a cheap price. Consumers are more inclined today to take a chance on the lowest price (which comes with the risk that the contractor is not playing by the rules) due to our current economic climate. They are willing to believe the cheap price will still get them a great job from desperate contractors.
Yesterday, The Contractor Coaching Partnership and Safety Trainers, Inc. conducted a RRP/OSHA Respirator and Lead in Construction training for Massachusetts contractors. We developed this training to help Massachusetts RRP trained contractors prepare for the Mass Lead Safe Renovation Contractor application.

- Sex: Female
Soapy Cooper's Info...
** Available May 13 ** Hello. My name is Soapy Cooper and I am a 1 year old Shepherd mix. I am a good looking boy with pretty eyes and a colorful coat. The shelter is no fun and it makes me a little shy with strangers. But, when I hear the voice of a kind, sweet person, I relax and enjoy the company. Let's spend some time together so we can be best pals!
Animal #: 411345
Name: Soapy Cooper
Sex: Male
Age: Approx 1 Year
Breed: Shepherd
THIS PAGE IS CREATED BY VOLUNTEERS AND IS NOT DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH SHELTER OR STAFF. For additional information on rescue or adopting contact the shelter directly. You need the ID NUMBER AND NOT NAME WHEN INQUIRING ON THE ANIMAL
Act quickly to adopt Soapy Cooper. Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at Collin County Animal Services
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Soapy Cooper, a McKinney Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in McKinney, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in McKinney.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in McKinney 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 McKinney 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 Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in McKinney paves the way for another one to be saved.

FPL is working harder than ever on providing low-income and elderly customers with energy affordability alternatives. Our Customer Assistance Annual Report highlights our progress and plans.
Each month, many American families worry about whether they'll be able to pay their home energy bills. Now, with the economy still struggling, the federal program that offers some relief to these families is in serious danger of losing funding.
Since 1981, the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, has provided heating and cooling assistance to Americans in need. Federal funding for LIHEAP may be cut in half next year. Such a funding cut would impact at least three million low-income U.S. households.
Low-income householdsparticularly those that include elderly residents, the disabled, and childrenare especially concerned about LIHEAP funding cuts since they are most vulnerable to rising costs and often must choose between paying their energy bills and buying food or medicine.
You can help to protect these Americans in need. Visit www.SupportLIHEAP.org and tell Congress to stop the proposed LIHEAP funding cuts and fully fund LIHEAP!
The Florida Energy Affordability Coalition works to maximize payment-assistance resources to Florida's low-income citizens. FPL, in partnership with Florida's Department of Community Affairs, spearheaded the coalition's creation in 2006. Coalition partners include all major Florida electric utilities, the Florida Department of Community Affairs, Florida Public Service Commission, Florida Council on Aging and social service agency partners such as The Salvation Army.
Over the last two decades, the price of energy has grown significantly and the at-risk population of fixed-income and elderly customers has soared. Rising energy prices make the availability of affordable energy an increasingly urgent public policy matter. The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program offers a potentially life-saving safety net for America's most vulnerable – families of modest means with loved ones who are elderly, disabled or very young. Yet federal funding for LIHEAP and Weatherization programs has been stagnant.
The need for energy assistance for at-risk customers far outpaces the resources available for this purpose, now more than ever. The home energy burden of at-risk Americans is three to five times more than that of an average family. Given rising energy costs and other economic challenges, this has reached crisis proportions with significant consequences. It now means that the vast majority of our qualifying citizens are simply shut out of LIHEAP because of lack of government funding.
Many organizations, including state and charitable organizations and energy providers, are doing all they can to help, but it is simply not enough. With FPL's leadership, a coalition of stakeholders has formed to address this situation. Its purpose is to enlist the help of our elected officials by informing them of the opportunity and need to provide more assistance funding for all at-risk families in the U.S.
FPL, in partnership with Entergy, TXU Energy and others, has co-sponsored the creation of the Coalition for Affordable Energy for All. CAEA is working to:
Washington Action Day for LIHEAP, organized by the National Fuel Funds Network, is an annual grassroots effort to promote awareness of energy-assistance funding needs. Each January, National Fuel Funds Network members and LIHEAP supporters come to Washington, D.C., to meet with more than 200 members and staffers of Congress. The event has become the annual kickoff for lobbying on behalf of this vital and important federal program, and includes participation in a press conference and the coordination of other grassroots activities to amplify the message being delivered in Washington.
FPL has been an active supporter of Washington Action Day for LIHEAP since 2006, and also works throughout the year in support of increasing LIHEAP federal funding. For those who can't attend the event, the National Fuel Funds Network has a toolkit on its website with suggestions for local fuel-funds activities aimed at raising awareness of energy-assistance needs.......

State officials eye AstraZeneca takeover attempts State officials are watching developments surrounding pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, which rejected drug maker Pfizer's $106 billion takeover bid just hours after it was made on Friday. Pfizer, the world's second-biggest drugmaker by sales, made its third attempt at buying AstraZeneca. DEDO Director Alan Levin tells WDEL's Delaware News at Noon he heard the development prompted a positive reaction from Astrazeneca employees. "I understand that when the board turned down the latest offer, the 106 billion offer, that there was a cheer from the employees at Astrazeneca," Levin says. Levin says he's bullish about Astrazeneca because the company wants to right itself and take the firm into the next generation. "The board and management are united in their effort to take this forward and to resist all of these requests," he said. "But by the same token, who's to say that somebody doesn't come in and offer a ridiculous number and the stock holders all of a sudden say 'maybe we've gone as far as we can.' But right now that doesn't appear to be the case." Information from the Associated Press was used in this report. |

John Duran, our new Mayor, famously told this reporter several years ago that the thing he most enjoyed about holding the post is "seeing the expression on peoples' faces across the country when I introduce myself as being Mayor of West Hollywood. They look at me as though they are approaching the Wizard of OZ – with a mix of awe and delight."
They may be responding to the office and not him, but Mayor Duran gives his constituents plenty of reason to gaze at him similarly.
Since taking a seat on the council in 2001 he has initiated several far-reaching and sometimes controversial policies that have garnered the kudos of his town folk and the attention of the media and the nation.
WeHo has a revolving system of council governance, in which each council member takes turns in the leadership posts of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore, holding the leadership position for one year leaves little time to establish anything but a select and focused set of policies.
Mayor John Duran, cognizant of that fact, came out of the gates this year in a dead run in the first weeks of his term, obtaining unanimous support for a virtual halt on residential redevelopment and a plan to re-design the city's housing plan and increasing fine arts funding by two-thirds.
Demonstrating the far-reaching nature of his initiatives, the de-clawing ban he wrote in 2003 – perhaps the most controversial legislative act from his last tour as mayor – culminated late last week when the State Court of Appeals upheld that law amidst a splash of national publicity. (See: Declawing Prohibition Wins Appeal)
Another controversial topic on which John Duran leads a vital and vigorous public dialogue is crystal meth. His office has created a set of town hall educational/informational meetings touching on a range of meth-related issues (more on that below).
In last issue activist Jerome Cleary interviewed Mayor Duran about his leadership position in the gay rights movement in the state, including his chairing Equality California (EQCA), not to mention being its star fundraiser.
WeHoNews met with Mayor Duran at a Sunset Strip diner to chew his thoughts and plans for the city while we munched a burger and fries.
WeHoNews: We got in last week's interview with Jerome Cleary, A Short Chat With Mayor Duran
June 14, 2007, a close-up view of your Gay Movement activities. This week we'd like to ask you about the potential for abuse of AB 682, the Routine HIV Screening Bill, that loosens rules on informed consent for HIV tests.
(That bill recently passed unanimously in the assembly. See Assembly bill 682 for details.)
Mayor John Duran: The California Supreme Court asked for the files on the same-sex marriage case (that body has heard arguments on the constitutionality of excluding gay couples from the state's marriage laws).
That could be a good thing, because they do that when they're about to overturn an appeals court ruling. They want to be seen as having all their facts straight.
About the loosening of HIV testing consent thresholds. Beginning 20 years ago I helped draft legislation that makes pre- and post testing counseling mandatory so people would not have to deal with their AIDS test results alone.
Some advocates, because of pressure from the Bush Administration and a [genuine desire] to test more people for HIV, are willing to give away informed consent now being given in writing.
The result is that they also give up pre- and post testing counseling for the patient by removing that requirement.
WeHoNews: The Williams Institute and LAMDA Legal find fault with the bill because it could open the door to the potential for HIV discrimination. Businesses that require physicals could get results, or even insurance companies.
Mayor John Duran: I helped craft the HIV testing confidentiality laws expressly to prevent that information from falling into insurance companies' hands, and I can see how it might be used that way, the way the law is written.
WeHoNews: You were recently successful in increasing the grants given by the city to fine and performing arts organizations by 66 percent – from $60,000 to $100,000 dollars, accomplishing a major legislative goal of yours for this term. What else have you planned in the arts realm for your term.
Mayor John Duran: You know I increased the grants from $40,000 to $60,000 last time. There's not much else I can see through this year, although remodeling and upgrading Fiesta Hall in Plummer Park is a short-term goal. We can't make it perfect, but we can at least improve the acoustics for live music performances and small theater productions.
Longer term, we need a fine arts center. My dream is to one day house it on the MTA bus depot lot. The County isn't taken with the idea of selling the land and putting the buses somewhere else, yet, though.
WeHoNews: Your focus over the past several years on the crystal meth problem that has recently been wreaking so much havoc in our community, moves apace. Have you plans to expand it?
Mayor John Duran: Next on crystal meth is an expansion into gender. We started looking at meth in the gay male because it affected so many of our brothers, but we've seen increasing meth use in both straight and lesbian women's community.
Since so many women come to the city to visit the Sunset Strip, I want to bring it to them, too. Look for a Meth and Gender Town Hall Meeting coming up soon.
WeHoNews: Your signature initiative this term – the recently passed Urgency Zoning Ordinance – effectively halts residential construction for as many as two years.
Property owners and people in the development community who understand your reasoning and would like to redevelop along the lines the council is thinking – more, smaller and affordable units instead of fewer, larger luxury condos – say the exemptions in the ordinance as written are written too tightly to allow private parties to build, even if they are adding density. Would you consider some broadening of the exemptions to accommodate that community and allow some private residential redevelopment?
Mayor John Duran: I know it upset a lot of people. I'll wait until after the 45 days have expired and I've seen what staff comes back with.
I'm willing to listen to everybody's point of view, but I haven't heard directly from anyone in that community about that.
But I'm OK with any changes that fall within our central goals and don't prevent us from making the changes in the zoning ordinance we need.
WeHoNews:Over the next two or three years the Westside promises to be ground zero for commercial development, which means soon we'll see a lot of construction. What can you tell Wehoans about the steps being taken to mitigate their parking, traffic and pollution (construction dust/noise) concerns?
Mayor John Duran: There could possibly be four major projects happening nearly simultaneously on that side of town – the Millennium, the PDC's Red Building, Palms and Pavilions. We're talking about allowing the Pavilions and Palms projects to go at once because of the tight area.
The staff controls the pace of construction through the permitting process, and is very sensitive to the coming situation, so they'll do their best to mitigate the worst of it.
WeHoNews: Your recent public outreach to WEHONA, historic preservationists and slow-growth advocates deeply impressed many people, especially after the treatment you and your colleagues received in the past two elections.
We'll ask you publicly what so many others must have asked you privately – what possessed you to talk to them?
Mayor John Duran: Watching what my three colleagues went through this year – I didn't think it was justified. It wasn't necessary. There's so much distrust out there, and primarily it's because people don't talk to each other.
It's possible to disagree and still be civil, to have a dialogue.
Barbara Hamaker, she's my planning Commissioner, and I sometimes vote opposite ways on issues that come before us both. We still talk. If we're talking to each other instead of at each other, we can disagree and still make progress.
I had a meeting with Roy Rogers Oldenkamp and Allegra Allison (co-chairs of West Hollywood Neighborhood Association [WEHONA]) and we discussed parking in the Mid City. We all agreed we needed more parking there.
Then we began talking about the give and take of building more parking. They realized building parking means development, for example we could knock down neighborhood serving commercial buildings like EatWell's to build up higher and add parking that way.
Or we could develop the residential areas to add parking, demolishing the apartment buildings with affordable housing to do it. The trade of for parking is increased development.
I'd rather have them at the table so they can be as frustrated as me and we can all ask together: What's the best way to go?

My friend Pete recently shared with me a story of a friend of his who had never eaten chili in her entire life.
So many questions spring to mind when considering her situation. How had she successfully avoided chili for so long? What element of the chili was so offensive to her? The bean? The pepper? The spice? Why chili? Why not some other, lesser food? Like chow mein, for instance. I could happily live the rest of my life without seeing another damned chow mein noodle. Does her chili bigotry have anything to do with former Angels and Twins slugger Chili Davis? Did he wrong her somehow? Perhaps he bludgeoned her dog to death?
I wonder if she will ever have an encounter with chili, or if she will spend the remainder of her days in some sort of godforsaken, chili-less existance. I can only imagine a realm beyond chili: stone stairwells leading into festering cesspools of rotting mule carcasses and molten lava, vast plains of dust punished by an unmerciful sun, men and women mumbling incoherently – having ripped their own tongues out of their mouths in a vain attempt to mute their chili-lust. The inhabitants of this grim land are left to eat pasta and corn dogs that are still cold in the middle.
My friends, I confess to all of you that I have no point today. My life is an odious, execrable heap of owl dung. This is essentially the summative message of the John Larroquette Project.
Hope you had a nice Christmas!

I thought this was OK. The flavor was subtle. My husband liked it better than the date filling, though.
This filling was too sweet and bland. Even doctored up with some lemon juice and peel it wasn't tasty enough to waste on good hamantaschen dough.
This was a great filling -- the crunchy walnuts were a great contrast to the smooth apple butter and sweet raisins. Could not have been easier to make. (I never found an unsweetened apple butter though and it still turned out well -- not too sweet.)

Thanks to t0m7 for capturing it in film! This would be a perfect reminder of how summer days should be! Plus those tungsten hues were just right to capture the attention of many, making it as last year's most popular photo! Perfect shot!

I am taking two African American courses that involve many things that I learned while being a part of the Global Travel Scholarship Program. (ex: I seen an ancient empire that was de-prived of it's gold and architecture; later in school I found the history behind why that happened....it was good to actually experience something you learn about) Learning about the Euro-crisis in the Summer Seminar on World Affairs was great for when I actually got a chance to use Euros in the Paris Airport.

Model Rocket Video using a Disposable Digital Camera
Type: Maker Table/Exhibit
Program Area:
Day/Time: Saturday and Sunday
Location: Fiesta Hall
I have hacked a disposable digital camera and put it in to a small model rocket. I'll have that rocket on display, plus a video of it launching high above my house. I'll also have my collection of other hacked digital cameras. Since I did most of the reverse engineering on these, I'd be happy to explain any aspect of the process -- from soldering to decompiling to reprogramming.Related site: http://www.maushammer.com/systems/
Presented by
John Maushammer
I'm the hacker who figured out how to make the disposable digital cameras reusable again. I've got an article (slated for Make 07) about launching one of these camcorders in a rocket. I'm also sort-of an ex-rocket scientist.

Luria, Salvador (Edward)
biographical name(born Aug. 13, 1912, Turin, Italydied Feb. 6, 1991, Lexington, Mass., U.S.) Italian-born U.S. biologist. He fled Italy for France in 1938, arriving in the U.S. in 1940. In 1942 he obtained an electron micrograph of phage particles that confirmed earlier descriptions of them as consisting of a round head and a thin tail. In 1943 he and Max Delbrück showed that viruses can undergo permanent changes in their hereditary material. He also proved that the simultaneous existence of phage-resistant bacteria with phage-sensitive bacteria in the same culture was a result of the selection of spontaneous bacterial mutants. In 1945 he and A.D. Hershey demonstrated the existence not only of such bacterial mutants but also of spontaneous phage mutants. The three men shared a 1969 Nobel Prize.

« May 2010 Table of Contents
Ten years from now, the king crab that consumers pluck off one of the many buffet lines on the Las Vegas strip may have its roots to a lab in Alaska. That is, if current research by Alaska Sea Grant on raising the spidery crabs is able to proceed.
During the king crab industry's heyday in the 1980s, fisheries off the coast of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands produced up to 200 million pounds of king crab. Those days are long gone, as the harvests now are closer to 20 million pounds, the majority from Bristol Bay, according to Forrest Bowers, a fisheries biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish & Game.
"In the Aleutian Islands, the golden king crab fishery is harvesting about 6 million pounds of king crab, but the Pribilof Island harvests are not doing well," he says.
"One of the problems is that we don't know why the crab stock is depressed. It could be environmental conditions, predator-prey relationships or habitat conditions that have changed. It's difficult to rebuild the stock without knowing what factors are causing the depression of king crab."
Alaska Sea Grant researchers are determined to get answers, and four years ago, started studying how to hatch and raise large numbers of larval king crab. In November 2009 they received red and blue adult king crab broodstock for another year of research.
The goal of the research is to determine if hatchery enhancement will help rebuild depleted blue and red king crab stocks in areas such as the waters around the Pribilof Islands and Kodiak Island, respectively, neither of which has had king crab fisheries for many years.
"It could be that those areas of Alaska are recruitment-limited, that they're not getting enough new baby crabs. If that was the case, then hatchery enhancement could offer a solution," says Ben Daly, a research biologist with Alaska Sea Grant. "By introducing juvenile crabs we could jump-start the population again and make it stable for the long term."
Daly is part of a research team that includes university and federal scientists and researchers at the Alutiiq Pride Shellfish Hatchery in Seward. Together they are conducting studies as part of the Alaska King Crab Research, Rehabilitation and Biology (AKCRRAB) program, which was created in 2006. AKCRRAB is an Alaska Sea Grant partnership among regional fishermen's groups, coastal communities, the National Marine Fisheries Service, the Alutiiq Pride Shellfish Hatchery, Chugach Regional Resources Commission and the University of Alaska Fairbanks School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences.
Red king crab populations declined around Kodiak Island in the 1970s, at a time when ocean temperatures warmed slightly and the ecosystem dynamic shifted. "One theory is that this climate change may have caused the decline in crab stock," Daly says. "But there was a peak in commercial fishing at that time, too, so we don't know if [the decline] was due to overfishing."
Funding for the research is one challenge that Daly's team is navigating. An 18-month grant of $200,000 will dry up by December.
"We're in search mode to try to extend funding to pay for our tanks, utilities and experimental floor space," he says.
In the three years of research, the egg-bearing blue and red king crabs were supplied by fishermen from Kodiak Island, Bristol Bay, north of the Alaska Peninsula, the Pribilof Islands and from St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea.
In the first year, Daly's team faced several technological and biological hurdles as they learned about the four larval stages of a crab's life. "They're very sensitive to temperature fluctuations and diet, and we had to fine tune those parameters in the lab," he says.
SDLq For example, we learned that warming the temperature was good for the crabs, as it helped reduce filamen tous bacteria growing on their shells. The bacteria limit the larval crabs' ability to breathe and feed. In warmer water the crabs grow faster, shed their bacteria-covered shell faster and can stay on top of the bacteria problem, which helped them survive."
The first year of the research was 2007, when 1,000 juveniles were cultured. In 2008, that number jumped to 37,000 and in 2009, researchers were able to culture 100,000 juveniles.
"We shipped some to other laboratories in Kodiak, Juneau [Alaska] and Newport, Ore., where other researchers were experimenting with habitat preference and predation," Daly says. "But the juveniles are highly cannibalistic, so today we're only left with about 100."
The juvenile stage is the one in which the crabs would be released into the wild, should a hatchery restocking program take off. Daly and his team hope to do small-scale experiments in the field to see how hatchery-cultured crabs behave in the wild.
"Can they avoid predation and compete with wild crabs?" he wonders. "When we understand these issues, larger releases could come into play, but the first hurdle will be to get permits to do these things, which will be a slow process. We're starting dialogue with the appropriate agencies in Alaska right now, but it may take as long as five or six years before we're able to do any large-scale releases."
At the end of the day, Daly and his team are hoping to determine if stock enhancement can be used to bolster depressed stocks of king crab. "It may boost the natural stocks to such a degree that fishing could be reopened in areas presently closed to fishing," he says. "But that's highly speculative, as we're in the very early stages of research right now."

I had to do the best I could today as it is raining as usual.
Iris Paul Black. One of my very favorite top five iris. Florentine Silk Magical Realism and Perrymont Kickapoo Kangaroo Winter Waltz with Rio Rojo A section of Iris Row. Bunches of Blue and Purple. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by schoolhouse z5/ohio (My Page) on Mon, May 23, 11 at 14:45
Kickapoo Kangaroo - never saw an Iris like that before. Awesome. I went greenhouse hopping with a friend today and didn't see any bearded Iris, only Japanese. |
- Posted by newyorkrita z6b/7a LI NY (My Page) on Mon, May 23, 11 at 15:01
Kickapoo Kangaroo is a Kasparek into. He has the most off beat broken colors and strange patterns. I have quite afew of them. |
Just stunning! My iris blossoms tend to rot quickly with the spring rains. I've resigned myself to enjoying people's pics more than my own garden. lol |
I was looking at Rio Rojo the other day, the colour looks absolutely beautiful!! Is it a fast spreader, or more moderate? |
- Posted by newyorkrita z6b/7a LI NY (My Page) on Mon, May 23, 11 at 16:04
We have been having lots of rain also, more than a week and a half of it. I noticed indivual blooms don't tend to last as long as the constant rain really does them in quicker. But they still look beautiful blooming :-) Rio Rojo is about the same as all the others I bought from Schreiners. They just grow! This is the second year of blooming for them all and they will all need to be divided this summer. But then I don't leave lots of room for them as my garden is just not that big. |
I think Paul Black is now my favorite iris of all time. I have never seen one so very deep blue and with the orange. Stunning. |
