{alternate title: I saw the light}
I'm dealing with another bout of the voms over here, as my oldest is sick (yet again) so these products and this (really short) post came at the most appropriate of times…
Rewind: Props to the designers of Mrs. Meyer's, because I'm a self admitted design snob (imagine that). I remember the first time they were featured in Communication Arts circa 2004. (7 years ago) To be featured, is kind of a major deal in the graphic design world, and even then I remember feeling drawn to their simple, clean design with their fabulous no-nonsense, simplistic appeal. In their labeling, their application of type, and their beautiful, clean colors.
Fast forward to a few months ago, and The Nester's feature reminded me of their existence.
Fast forward to this past weekend: when after I'd scrubbed our somewhat disgusting shower oh-so-dutifully and after enduring a night of a stinky bedroom (from the fumes of the bathroom) all in the name of bleach and powerful cleanser, and in the meantime, lost all of my nostril hairs, {gross but true-I believe they were all singed in the cleaning process} I decided enough was enough.
Cut to me, standing in the middle of Walmart, noting, for the first time, those familiar labels on the shelf as I passed them by in one serendipitous moment made just for me and my hound dog nose. (I thought you could only buy mrs meyers at fancy shmancy places. Not good ole wally world.) Cut to me, taking a glorious whiff, and after my love-at-first-smell experience, shoveling this jazz right into my cart.
When my children get sick, I go into overtime with the clean-up-right-now-so-the-germs-don't-spread-freak-itis. No. Like. Scary. Clean. Mode.
(yes, I do have issues.)
So busting out this stuff, is quite a pleasant change, seeing as how I don't really feel like I'm poisoning them with horrible fumes.
And I actually look forward to cleaning.
No lie.
I'm about to go tackle the kitchen right now, and I'm kind of excited. Put on some music and douse me in this stuff. I'm one happy gal, and so is my home.
My latest obsession? All things lavender.
Check them out now. Seriously. I've seen the light.
And I'm never going back.
What are some of your fave cleaning products?

I think the most important here is that you shold place the recepient's name because if you forget this just one info and the rest are already filled, the check could be used by anyone.
It's nothing to take lightly, that's for certain. The worst part about writing personal checks is you don't know when that person is going to cash it.
Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.

This is something they were teaching on 'The Price is Right' when I was a kid. Remember that game 'Blank Check'? File this subject in the 'Duh' section please, because it's a good description of the process.
When you complete your check for any purpose i.e withdraw, to give loans etc then, write:
- The amount in numbers with a comma and cents, even if it is a round number (example: $123.45 or $100.00) and start writing from the left edge
- The amount in words, starting left of the first line reserved for this purpose. Enter the number of dollars and cents (you can write cents) (Example: One hundred twenty-three dollars and forty cents or five hundred dollars and no cents). If the written text does not go to the end of the line, fill it with a horizontal line.
- Place and date of issue: these entries are mandatory. It is forbidden by law to backdate or postdate a check, that is to say the date for another day.
- The signature: it should match the one you made when opening the account.
Remember, after you have completed your check, complete the check register to keep track of payments you just made. This will allow you to monitor your accounts and spending.
Very Nice
it was god help
The link to your page from the Contacts page at oregonhelp.org is not working. I used a search to find you.
I do like the new format for beehive! Great job!!
I really liked it when the students could click around on the check to see what all the parts of the check were. Examples: The check number, the routing number, the account number, the account holder, the bank name, etc.
Could this be added back?

Electronics maker Sanyo Electric Co. will likely post a group net loss of 70 billion yen (U.S. $590 million) for the year to March 31, hurt by heavy losses on stockholdings, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun said. Sanyo, enjoying steady sales of digital cameras and other information-related products, earlier projected a net profit of eight billion yen ($67.5 million) for the year. Its operating profit, however, will likely soar about 50 percent to nearly 80 billion yen ($674.8 million), compared with a 70 billion yen ($590 million) profit forecast earlier, helped by steady sales of electronics products, the paper said.

In a surprisingly quick update, the Android Open Kang project has reached its fifth Android 4.2 release, complete with some worthy additions to the list of supported devices. The much-demanded Samsung Galaxy S III international version leads the pack, with the Verizon and Sprint variants of the Galaxy Note II also making for some pleased users. (S-Pen support has been added for these models specifically.) The LG Optimus LTE, plus its American variants the Nitro (AT&T) and Spectrum (Verizon) round out the pack.
Claiming the title of the first MSM8660-packing devices to get CyanogenMod 10.1 nightlies, LG's Optimus LTE and Nitro HD (su640 and p930) joined the lineup today.
In a post to Google+, CyanogenMod is sure to note that the introduction of the Nitro HD and Optimus LTE does not necessarily indicate the imminent support of other devices that use Qualcomm's MSM8660 chip. "What it does mean," the post goes on, "is that the first hurdle towards more devices has been achieved."
That said, the nightlies are still great news for Nitro HD/Optimus LTE owners who have been hankering for an AOSP-inspired Android 4.2 experience with the full CyanogenMod treatment.
The AT&T Galaxy SII (i777) isn't the only Android device getting official CyanogenMod 9 nightly love today, as the first nightlies just went live for the HP TouchPad (codename tenderloin) and the LG Nitro HD (codename p930, also known as LG Optimus LTE on Bell Canada).
MWC is still a few days away, and we're already starting to get some pretty great information on the devices that will shape the mobile electronics world in 2012.
Adding to the list of pre-MWC news items, the Italian blog Telefonino.net has posted a series of videos and photos, showcasing LG's complete Android lineup for 2012, from the LG Optimus 4X HD (which we mentioned yesterday) to the Optimus 3D MAX, to the Optimus LTE.

Not really. Looking out this morning we got a lot of snow over night. After snow blowing for about an hour I got a call from my dad. He was snowed in, couldn't get the snowblower running and had 1/2 a tree accross his driveway. Also they are without power due to the heavy snowfall dropping tree limbs all over the area.
After loading my snowblower and the chainsaw I headed over to help. Another hour of fun in the snow and we had his area clear. Luckily he has a gas fireplace to heat the house or I would have house guests. All the recent snow was really wet and many up here are without power.
We had one tree fall , I'm hoping no more come down, although several are bowed over from the snow load.

No fee should be collected by the county clerk for the dismissal of a garnishee defendant or for the dismissal of supplemental proceedings since both proceedings are ancillary to the main action.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
March 5, 1953
Honorable John J. O'ConnellProsecuting AttorneyPierce CountyCourt HouseTacoma, Washington Cite as: AGO 51-53 No. 488
Attention: !ttMr. Robert A. Jacques, Chief Civil Deputy
Dear Sir:
Receipt of your letter of February 20, 1953, is hereby acknowledged. The following question is presented:
Should the county clerk collect fees for the dismissal of a garnishment or supplemental proceeding under RCW 36.18.020?
Our conclusion may be stated as follows:
No fee should be collected upon the filing of an order dismissing a garnishee defendant, or upon filing a dismissal of supplemental proceeding.
RCW 36.18.020 (section 5, chapter 51, Laws of 1951) was construed in our opinion No. 51-53-127 addressed to the prosecuting attorney of Benton county, [[Orig. Op. Page 2]] September 13, 1951. It was there held that a garnishment proceeding is only ancillary to the main case. Any order which dismisses only the proceeding which is ancillary to the main action is not a dismissal of a civil action within the contemplation of RCW 36.18.020. Consequently, no dismissal fee should be collected. See also,Kelly v. Ryan, 8 Wash. 536, in support of the proposition that a garnishment proceeding is ancillary to the principal action.
In answer to the same question regarding the dismissal of supplemental proceedings, the same rule was indicated in a letter of the attorney general to the Bureau of Inspection and Supervision of Public Offices, dated April 7, 1916. It was there held that no filing fee should be charged upon the institution of a supplemental proceeding for the reason that the rule applied in the case of Kelly v. Ryan, supra, was analogous to the situation, and a proceeding supplemental to execution was also a proceeding ancillary to the main action. Since a supplemental proceeding is merely ancillary to the main action, RCW 36.18.020 would not be applicable and no fee should be charged for the dismissal of such a proceeding.
Very truly yours,DON EASTVOLDAttorney General
RALPH M. DAVISAssistant Attorney General

Congratulations to Ben Sippola, the winner of the 5th annual $1000 Liberal Arts Essay Contest! The contest offers students the chance to reflect on the value of a liberal arts education. The prompt for the 2010-11 Contest was . . .
Education as Commodity: Liberal Arts Education in the Consumer Age
Contemporary higher education is increasingly dominated by the realities and metaphors of the market economy. Education is an investment or a product. Students are consumers. Admissions counselors are salespeople and professors deliver their customers goods and services. Write an essay about this mindset and how it has affected your education. Have your attitudes towards the commoditization of education changed during your time at Butler? Fundamentally, how can or should liberal arts education fit within this worldview?
Read Ben's winning essay,"Metaphors of the Market Economy and The Learning Community."

DURANGO – On Saturday, February 16 Fort Lewis College will offer College Goal Saturday. The aim is to provide families with free professional guidance on ways to pay for college, specifically how to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is a crucial step in the college planning process. College Goal Saturday is free, open to everyone, and will take place from 1-3 p.m. in Reed Library on campus.
The FAFSA must be completed for a student to receive any type of financial aid, including grants, work study, student loans and even many scholarships. Students are encouraged to submit their FAFSA as early as they can in the year to receive as much financial aid as possible.
Families are encouraged to bring their 2012 federal tax records and social security numbers to ensure they can work through the FAFSA during the time they have with financial aid experts.
For more information, please contact Marianne Gurule at 970-247-7101 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Feast of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini November 13
A Center for Those Seeking Help is Now Struggling
To read the NY Times article
A long line of older people with shopping carts lined the rain-slicked sidewalk on Henry Street in the Lower East Side this week.
One by one, they entered an old brick building, trudged down a short flight of creaky stairs, and picked up their weekly lifeline from a food pantry. Next door, in a church-basement English class, a class of Asian women sang God Bless America, before the teacher peppered them with questions.
How many children do you have? the teacher asked, reading off a handwritten list.
Two. And they went to college, said a student.
What do you do to relax?
Sleep, said another woman, with a broad smile.
Why did you come to this country? asked the teacher.
For freedom.
Such are the celebrations of independence, small and large, that take place at Cabrini Immigrant Services, a social-service agency that has helped newcomers find their way since 1999. It was an effort by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Roman Catholic order founded by St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, to get closer to the orders roots helping the immigrant poor as it first did when Pope Leo XIII sent them to New York in 1890 to work with struggling Italians.
Now the agency must confront its own independence. Having operated as a department of the Cabrini Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation a religious-run nursing home that covered about half of its $240,000 annual budget it must now find a way to stand on its own. After failing to secure new space or an extended lease, the nursing home is closing on June 30. The immigrant agency has enough to scrape by until the end of the year.
Or so it hopes.
If we dont have more funding, well have to close our doors, too, said Sister Kelly Carpenter, the executive director, who is also a lawyer. We provide so much with so little, from legal services to social services. There seem to be other providers, but were all overburdened. If were not here, that means that many more people will be on waiting lists for other organizations, hoping theyll get what they need.
Hope is a strong thing. It is evident in the faces of the people who fill the center each day. They might come for help in obtaining residency or English classes, but the staff soon figures out what else they might need from help with housing or navigating city agencies, to helping their children finish high school and apply to college.
Martha Melendez first came to the agency in 2002 to learn English. Over the years, she has returned for help with various other needs, most recently to obtain her citizenship after having lived as a resident since coming from Mexico 22 years ago. Right now, a social worker is helping her straighten out a dispute over a health care proxy that has prevented her from having a say on how her terminally ill husband is being treated.
They have never said no to me, she said of the [CIS] staff. They always help me.
Thats because some of them know too well the road she has walked. Javier Ramirez Baron, a social worker who runs the family program, came to New York in 2000 as an immigrant from Cali, Colombia. Though he had studied industrial engineering, he changed his career goals after meeting some social workers who helped him. He arrived at Cabrini as an intern in 2005, and started full time after he obtained his masters degree in social work from Hunter College.
Im an immigrant, and I want to help immigrants, he said. It helps me to give back.
The tenor of the national debate on immigration has made it harder, way before the current financing crisis. But he has met enough people willing to help along the way, that it keeps him going, even amid uncertainty.
There are still a lot of people in America who believe we can find each other as human beings and put aside our differences, he said. To help each other find a better, dignified way to have housing, health and education. Those are the things we need to talk about.
On Friday, Mr. Ramirez will take a step many of his clients hope to follow when he is sworn in as an American citizen. Some of them helped him along the way like during a bus trip to an immigrant rights rally in Washington, where they peppered him with questions for his citizenship exam.
A half-eaten flag-shaped cake lay on the table in front of him, the remnants of a small, anticipatory celebration. The fact is, the small staff was too busy to mount something more elaborate. But thats O.K. He understands.
You know, when I first heard about the Arizona law, I knew it discriminated against immigrants and I was enraged, he said. But I know that is not this country. This country gives great opportunity. You can change your reality.

Determine your eligibility — Work in Canada
New measures have been introduced for foreign workers in Canada and Canadian employers who are hiring them.
Read about these changes and how they might affect you.
If you need a work permit to work temporarily in Canada, you must make sure you are eligible for one. Whether you are eligible or not depends on a few things, including where you plan to apply for your work permit.
Apply from outside Canada
Anyone may apply for a work permit before they enter Canada. In some cases, you must apply to a visa office outside Canada. This is usually true if you need a visa to enter Canada or if you need to have a medical exam before you come here.
To apply for a work permit from outside Canada, see the Instruction Guide to find out what documents you need.
Apply from inside Canada
You can only apply for a work permit from inside Canada if you:
- are currently in Canada and have a valid study or work permit, or your spouse or parents have a study or work permit,
- have graduated from a program at a
- Canadian university,
- community college,
- publicly funded trade/technical school or
- other eligible school,
- have a temporary resident permit that is valid for six months or more, or
- are in Canada because you have already applied for permanent residence from inside Canada (you will have to pass certain stages in the main application process to be eligible for a work permit).
See the Instruction Guide to find out what documents you need.
Apply as you enter Canada
You can ask to be allowed to work in Canada as you enter Canada but only if:
- you do not need a visa,
- you already hold a valid medical certificate, if you need it for your job, and
- your employer does not need a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) for your job (with some exceptions) or you already have an LMIA.
Note: If your job does need an LMIA, you can apply for a work permit as you enter Canada, as long as your employer has approval to hire you through an LMIA before you enter the country. (This does not apply to live-in caregivers and seasonal agricultural workers.)
No matter where you apply, you must:
- prove to an officer that you will leave Canada when your work permit expires,
- show that you have enough money to take care of yourself and your family members during your stay in Canada and to return home,
- obey the law and have no record of criminal activity (we may ask you to give us a police clearance certificate),
- not be a danger to Canada's security,
- be in good health and have a medical exam, if needed,
- not plan to work for an employer on the list of ineligible employers,
- not have worked in Canada for one or more periods that total four years after April 1, 2011 (with some exceptions), and
- give the officer any other documents they ask for to prove you can enter the country.
Applying for a new visitor visa (to re-enter Canada)
If you are currently in Canada with a valid study or work permit, and you want to leave and then come back to Canada, you may need a visa to re-enter Canada as a visitor.
If you do, you must apply for a new temporary resident (visitor) visa before you leave. To do so, you must:
- be legally in Canada as a student or foreign worker only with a Canadian home address,
- have valid temporary resident status, and your existing counterfoil has expired and/or was valid for only one entry, and
- need a new visitor visa to return to Canada in the near future.
Find out more about temporary resident (visitor) visas.
Some people are inadmissible–they are not allowed to come to Canada. Several things can make you inadmissible, including involvement in criminal activity, in human rights violations or in organized crime.
You can also be inadmissible for security, health or financial reasons. Find out more about inadmissibility.

Washington, D.C. - April 30, 2003 - Attorney General Christine Gregoire and Federal Trade Commission consumer protection chief Howard Beales today announced a nationwide enforcement sweep targeting fraudulent online auction sellers.
In the sweep, 27 states announced the filing or settling of about 65 cases, and the FTC announced the filing of four cases of its own.
In most cases, Beales and Gregoire said, victims complained they received merchandise that wasn't of advertised quality or they never received the merchandise they paid for.
Gregoire noted that about 32 million people a month visit various online auction sites, and as many as 42 million items a month are offered for sale on one of the Internet's most popular sites.
She cautioned that law enforcement can't be the sole source of protection for consumers. "If fraud was involved in just one percent of auction sales, there would be 420,000 new victims. That's more than 10 times the number of larcenies reported in the city of Los Angeles in all of 2002," Gregoire said.
"Law enforcement will do what it can, and responsible auction sites are trying to police their own market," she said. "But the single most powerful tool to protect consumers is education."
She said consumers shouldn't be afraid to browse these new and exciting global marketplaces, but they should be well-informed and take extra steps to protect themselves.
Though few of the cases announced today deal with significant monetary losses, they represent the common types of fraud found with online auctions, Gregoire said.
Gregoire, co-convenor of the National Association of Attorneys General's Internet Committee, said a recent FBI report indicates that about 22,000 complaints related to auction fraud were referred to prosecutors last year, a 7.7 percent increase from the year before. For its part, attorneys in Gregoire's High-Tech Unit announced the settlement of one case and the filing of two new cases in the sweep.
Gregoire said state attorneys reached settlement with an Olympia man who was accused of violating the state's Consumer Protection Act by selling baseball collectors cards over the Internet that failed to live up to their promise of vintage quality - if they were ever delivered at all.
Jon Hudson agreed to make restitution to as many as 80 consumers who said they were dissatisfied with their purchase. He also agreed to pay $3,000 in civil penalties and attorneys fees amounting to $3,599.
In one auction, Hudson claimed his collections were "absolutely LOADED with vintage" cards, from 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. However, most of the cards were manufactured in the 1980s and 1990s, and are not considered vintage.
The Attorney General's Office also filed a consumer protection lawsuit against Bothell resident Kenan Erden, who offered game consoles for sale on eBay and Ubid. In many cases, he received payment from successful bidders, but then failed to deliver the goods.
The Attorney General's office received a total of 17 complaints about Erden and the total amount lost to consumers is estimated to be about $5,000.
Gregoire also announced a case against Cheney resident Kevin Harper, accused of failing to deliver boxed DVD sets of popular television programs such as Star Trek, The Next Generation and the X-Files to purchasers.
The Attorney General's Office has received complaints from 15 consumers, all of whom paid Harper between $50 and $82 for the DVDs, but who have received nothing in return.

I am looking to buy a 50" plasma or LCD and I want to make sure I have all the necessary wiring done, as well as have the necessary equipment to make everything work. I have a Harmon/Kardon AVR 145 Receiver. I will be using Cox Cables HDTV cable box. I have about 7 in ceiling audio speakers hooked up to a cheap speaker selector box, two outdoor speakers I want to hook up to the receiver and I want to add surrround sound speakers when I get the TV. I guess I have two issues:
1. What wiring needs to go from the wall mounted TV to cable box or reciever (will be in wall). 2. How do I put the mess of speakers I currently have, along with surround sound speaker into my current receiver. Thanks for any help you can offer. Dave |
Follow-Up Postings:
1) You can either run regular coax from one to the other or if supported by your TV and cable box you can run either component video cables or an HDMI cable. 2) If your receiver supports surround sound processing then the speaker outs should be specified for which each is meant for (ie. front left, front right, rear left, rear right). Part of this will be determined by your plan to go Dolby 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1. Your receiver will only support one of these (5.1 is most common). If you want to learn A LOT more about this subject I suggest that you go to http://www.avsforum.com/. It is a great web-site. |

Sandy won't stop Punkin' Chunkin' Just days after Sandy, thousands are arriving for the start of Sussex County's tradition known as Punkin' Chunkin.' But the storm has altered the schedule for the weekend event in Bridgeville. Punkin' Chunkin's Frank Shade says while there will be no flinging of the pumpkins Friday, there's still a lot to see and enjoy. "Machines will be setting up, the vendors will be there. Actually, because we have so many people coming in with their campers for the weekend, we're going to go ahead and have the entertainment on the stage. The bands that are booked for Friday night are going to perform. We're going to have some great entertainment there, and it will give people that are in the area an opportunity to stop by and enjoy themselves," says Shade. The rockets, catapults, rifles and slingshots will be firing pumpkins starting Saturday at Punkin' Chunkin.' |

Gluten is defined by Wikipedia as "a protein composite found in foods processed from wheat and related grain species, including barley and rye. Gluten gives elasticity to dough, helping it rise and keep its shape and often gives the final product a chewy texture. Gluten may also be found in some cosmetics, hair products, and other dermatological preparations."
Oddly enough, gluten was discovered in the seventh century by Buddhist monks, as a substitute for meat. But it has become a primary ingredient in processed foods, which make up a large portion of the U.S. diet. It has become a target in recent years, as statistics now show that approximately one in 133 people have some level of intolerance to it. In the U.S., that is a market of about 20 million people. Tack on the number of people who are trying to eliminate it from their diets for overall health concerns, and the number jumps to 29% of the population.
So we now have a booming market for gluten-free products, to the tune of about $4.2 billion annually, and growing. It truly came out of thin air as the FDA sought to determine exactly what constitutes a gluten-free product in order to label it as such. A new FDA rule was proposed in 2007 and has just been announced as final, becoming a law by August 2014. The rule requires all products carrying the claim to contain less than 20 ppm of gluten, the lowest detectable level. Entire shelves and aisles at grocery stores now carry gluten-free products, and while the time frame has been very short for its growth, it seems to be more than just a trend.
The number of people with actual celiac disease is very small. To them, gluten is true poison. But for a large group of people as mentioned above, this is an ingredient that many want to avoid. So for the theatre industry, having products that can be labeled gluten-free available for purchase is going to be attractive for a share of the market. The best news of the day is that popcorn, cooked in oil, is commonly gluten-free. You have to insure that the corn, oil and salt are processed in a facility that does not allow cross-contamination, but the products in their base form are naturally gluten-free. Should this be something we market? With the growing interest in gluten-free products, we must consider it. It could be an easy win in the battle for the hearts and minds of consumers in the current health debate.
We could also introduce other snack products which are gluten-free and increase that outreach. There are specifics in the ruling related to wording of the product as gluten-free, and there will be a guidance document issued that will oversee compliance testing when products are questioned. But the market is maturing fast enough to have confidence in the many products already on the market, and the annual amount being spent on these items makes the potential very real to satisfy our customers with a few solutions.
Consumers' increasing focus on health, whether it comes naturally to them or is being forced on them through the battle over obesity, means they are open to trying new products and they are willing to spend money on them. The interesting aspect of gluten is that it impacts health by adversely affecting the digestive system and ultimately the immune system. These are issues associated with the simple aspect of feeling good. It's not hard to find people who are intolerant to gluten; I would bet that most people reading this know at least one person with this issue. So this is not the typical perception that "I need to eat healthy," when we know people like to go to the movies and indulge. This is a true malaise that affects the body when gluten is ingested. People will eat gluten-free products because the alternative really does have an immediate effect on them. As opposed to "healthy" snacks that don't sell well, gluten-free products seem to have a higher potential for success and merit a consideration for inclusion on the menu.

Canon launches the EOS 1D C today, a full-frame DSLR delivering both 1080 HD and 4K (4096 x 2160) video recording resolutions. The 1D C will use an APS-H sized portion of its 18.1 megapixel CMOS sensor to capture 8-bit Motion JPEG 4K video files. Shooting in 1080 HD offers use of the full width of the 36mm imaging sensor or a cropped 35mm designed to match the look of industry standard cameras. For audio monitoring, the 1D C offers a built-in headphone jack.
The 1D C shares many of its still imaging capabilities with the 1D X, offering a burst shooting rate up to 12 fps, dual DIGIC 5+ processors and a native ISO range up to 51200. It doesn't share the 1D X's price tag, however. The EOS 1D C will set you back an estimated $15,000. Canon expects to make the camera available sometime this year.

Using The 80/20 Rule In Relationships
What is the 80/20 Rule And Does It Apply To Relationships?
I completely believe that 80/20 Rule applies to relationships! I've written a little bit about the 80/20 Rule in my previous post, "Don't Talk So Much" and now it's time to elaborate more about how it specifically can be used to enhance your relationship.
So what exactly is the 80/20 Rule?
The 80/20 Rule is also known as the "Pareto Principle" and was named after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto who observed in 1906 that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population. Many more examples of this distribution have been observed in more modern times. Over 80% of the world's wealth is controlled by the richest 20% of the population. Over 80% of crimes are committed by 20% of the criminals. Over 80% over health care claims are submitted by 20% of the patients. Over 80% of customer complaints are made by 20% of the customers. Even Microsoft discovered that 80% of their software problems were corrected by repairing 20% of the "bugs".
How does this apply to relationships?
My belief is that the 80/20 Rule applies to relationships as well! In my experience as a couples counselor for the last twenty years and as a supervisor and consultant to other couples counselors, I truly believe that over 80% of the issues couples face can be resolved by dealing with 20% of their issues.
In fact, well-known couples researcher, Dr. John Gottman indicates that happy long-term couples generally NEVER resolve most of their issues! Which to me means that they have learned to choose their battles and deal with the 20% that matter, that are the deal breakers. When I conduct couples counseling, we focus on that 20% to get maximum leverage, maximum results and more "bang for your buck".
My belief as a clinical psychologist is that 20% of our lives is what happens to you and the other 80% is what you do with it! Let me repeat that: 20% of life is what happens and 80% is how you choose to interpret it! You may agree or disagree, but isn't it a more EMPOWERING perspective to live your life from?
Let's see how this applies to relationships. Let's say that 80% of our needs are met in our relationship with our partner. What about that other 20%? If we are mature and take responsibility for ourselves, we can meet those relational needs in appropriate ways with our friends, our family, our spiritual connection. If not, we will suffer from the problem of "the grass is greener" and will look outside of our commitment to meet those needs. This is how affairs often begin. And then we've simply traded our 80% for that 20% and did it make us happy? Usually not!
My solution is to flip the numbers around! I believe that we are WAY TOO DEPENDENT upon our relationship to make us happy. What if we lived a life where 20% of our needs were met in our relationship and WE took responsibility for meeting the other 80% of our needs? That would take a great deal of pressure off of ourselves and our partners, wouldn't it?

Believe it or not, back-to-school time can be dangerous for your pets! Every September our amazing team at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) sees an increase in calls related to pets getting into backpacks.
Why should you keep your pets away from your kids' backpacks?
Well, backpacks often contain items that can spell big trouble for the health of your furry family members, such as gum (which may contain xylitol), medications and inhalers.
Also, since no pet can resist the alluring smell of a freshly packed lunch, lunch boxes can pose big problems. School lunch staples like grapes, raisins and chocolate can make pets sick—see which other people-foods you should avoid feeding to your pets.
So as your kids head back to school, please be sure to stash backpacks and lunch boxes out of your pets' reach. And since we can't watch our pets ALL the time, remember that the APCC is available 24/7/365 at (888) 426-4435. Keep that number handy by requesting a free ASPCA Pet Safety Pack, which contains a refrigerator magnet with the APCC's contact info!

It is dubbed the Great Candy Buy Back, a national program that a local dentist is getting in on.
Dr. Robert Flores of R&R Dental Care in San Luis Obispo will put his money where his mouth is Saturday, November 6 when from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. he will buy back Halloween candy at a dollar per pound.
"Ditch the candy, that's what we're saying. Visiting your dentist twice a year and brushing daily are great preventative measures, but doing away with excess sweets altogether would really give your teeth a healthy boost," said Dr. Flores. "Kids can still have all of the fun of trick-or-treating, and now their piggy banks will benefit as well."
The sweet treats will then be sent to troops serving overseas as part of Operation Gratitude.
Dr. Flores' office is located at 878 Boysen Avenue.

Low vision occurs when vision is significantly reduced, but has some functionality (as opposed to blindness). Low vision cannot be corrected or improved with glasses, contact lenses or surgery. The main causes of low vision are age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma. Diabetic retinopathy is also becoming an important cause of low vision.
While the causes of low vision are primarily age-related, it also occurs in young people. In middle to high-income countries, low vision is often caused by hereditary or congenital conditions while in low-income countries it may be the result of vitamin A deficiency, measles, cataract and harmful traditional practices. Low vision affects a person's quality of life in a variety of ways involving visual, functional, psychological, social and economic factors.
Nearly 246 million people in the world have low vision, with 63 percent age 50 or older. Low vision services are accessed by a mere 5 to 10 percent of those with the condition, leaving the majority to face obstacles similar to those who are blind. The disparity is a result of service, client and health professional issues:
Rehabilitation and the use of adaptive devices can help those with low vision use their remaining vision and maintain quality of life. Comprehensive low vision services include clinical rehabilitation services and the use of adaptive technologies. Low vision services are delivered through three main models of care:
While low vision is a new program area for SightFirst, Lions have long been involved in various low vision efforts. The Core 4 Low Vision program, adopted in 1999, awarded 19 grants totaling US$3.2 million. These projects—which included the establishment or expansion of low vision centers—took place in Australia, Dominican Republic, MD300 Taiwan and the United States.
In addition, the Lions/WHO Project for the Elimination of Avoidable Childhood Blindness includes a component to purchase equipment and provide training for low vision services offered at 34 needs-based pediatric Lions eye care centers.
Under the SightFirst program, low vision services are critical to the development of comprehensive eye care systems, and LCIF seeks to strengthen those services. The first low vision grant approved under the SightFirst program will focus on developing a three-tier low vision rehabilitation system in Shenzhen, China.
The priorities for low vision projects are:
In general, SightFirst projects must focus on the major causes of blindness on national or large regional levels. These projects reach populations who are underserved or who have limited or no access to eye health care services. The program funds high-quality, sustainable projects that deliver eye care services, develop infrastructure, train personnel and/or provide rehabilitation and education in underserved communities.
Find more information, including the SightFirst grant application, disease-specific questionnaires and long-range policy papers.

We don't just pick up on the same studies covered by the mainstream media. The editor regularly trawls hundreds of peer-reviewed journals looking for the latest findings from across the breadth of psychological science.
All our reports are based on a close reading of the original research papers. Our aim is to write accessible, accurate blog posts on those studies that make an important contribution, that are relevant to real life, timely, novel or thought-provoking.
You can follow the Digest via our fortnightly email (launched in '03), Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Google + page.
Other features
Complementing our main research reports, the Research Digest publishes occasional special guest features, such as psychologists describing "one nagging thing they don't understand about themselves". During April and May 2014, in the regular editor's absence, we hosted a number of star guest editors. As of June 2014, we now publish a guest blogger every two to three weeks. Another recent development is themed posts, in which we digest research on a given topic or question, such as the psychology of first impressions and the surprising abilities of babies. Finally, every Saturday, we publish a round-up of the previous week's best psychology links on the web.
The Digest story
The British Psychological Society's award-winning Research Digest blog launched in 2005 with the aim of providing original, authoritative reports on the latest psychology research papers. In 2014, the Digest underwent significant expansion with the part-time Editor/Writer appointed full-time, the appointment of an additional regular contributor, and through the commissioning of guest contributions every two to three weeks.
Under Jarrett's editorship, the Digest blog won "best psychology blog" in the 2010 inaugural Research Blogging awards, and was "finalist" in the psychology/neuroscience category in the 2013 Science Seeker Blogging Awards.

In 1989 I read Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time (Bantam, 1988). It was a very informative and enjoyable adventure into the realm of physical science. As a result, I also read Craig Penrose's The Emperor's New Mind (Oxford University, 1990). I came away from the two books with an increased wonder at God's creation and the delicate balance and intricate symmetry of the universe, the earth, and life. Therefore, I read Wilkinson's volume with the anticipation that my awe of the Creator would be increased. I was not disappointed.
Dr. David Wilkinson is both minister and scientist. He has a Ph.D. in Theoretical Astrophysics, is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, and is a Methodist minister and Fellow in Apologetics at St. John's College, Durham, U.K. The current volume is an expansion and revision of God, the Big Bang and Stephen Hawking (Monarch, 1993). In it Wilkinson interacts with many of the scientific and theological responses to Hawking since the publication of A Brief History of Time.
Beginning with a brief biographical sketch of Stephen Hawking, Wilkinson breaches the subject of God's role in the origin of the universe. Even Carl Sagan had to admit that A Brief History of Time demonstrated that Hawking himself viewed the "God question" as a significant issue (26). God, Time and Stephen Hawking is divided into two parts: a history of scientific thinking concerning the universe's origin (Chapters 2–6) and the contribution and interaction of the Christian concept of God with scientific thinking (Chapters 7–12). Occasional illustrations visualize significant concepts.
With the launching of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in 1991, astrophysical research gained a powerful tool. Wilkinson provides the reader with an engaging description of HST's influence upon the scientific world's search for the origin of the universe (29-44). He follows that with a brief history of the "Big Bang" theory that superseded the steady state model of the universe (45-59). Of course, the heart of the discussion of origins focuses on the nature of the proofs that science can offer in support of the Big Bang. So the author gives the reader a guided tour of quantum theory, the uncertainty principle, and chaos theory (63-71). In addition, the nature and methods of scientific investigation are evaluated. Several views of science are defined and discussed, including naïve realism, positivism, instrumentalism, idealism, and critical realism (73-76). Although he does not specifically mention neotheism, Wilkinson does relate the concepts of quantum theory and uncertainty to theological considerations. He writes that man's free will is related to the area of the uncertainty principle (67). As for God, "Some will say that this unpredictable nature of certain chaotic systems gives an 'openness' to the world and this is where free will and the actions of God are located" (70).
"A Singular Problem or Two with the Big Bang?" (79-98) is a fascinating discussion of various problems and challenges to the Big Bang theory. The biggest problem is the matter of equilibrium or a balanced result that would be conducive to the existence of carbon-based life. This would require a balance that is so delicate that it must be within "1 part in 1060 (1 followed by sixty zeros!). In Paul Davies' words, that is the same accuracy as shooting at a target 1 centimetre square on the other side of the universe—and hitting it!" (90-92). Such subtle balances permeate the forces of the universe and account for the increasing attention to design and the God question in the last two decades of the twentieth century (135).
Hawking's goal is to discover a unification theory for all the laws of physics. However, as Wilkinson points out, such a theory of everything still fails to provide viable answers for all the questions. Hawking's book does not answer all the questions. "If this is true in the area of science, it is even more important in the area of God" (108). One such question has to do with the nature of time (109-21). Once more, Wilkinson moves into the realm of "openness" in regard to the inherent unknown involved in the future (119). In spite of this brief excursion into openness, he decides that the biblical concept of time is basically linear and that God transcends time.
How do we know that God exists? One of the arguments often posed is the cosmological argument for God's existence. Hawking's unification theory accomplishes two things: (1) it makes the cosmological argument irrelevant in any attempt to convince a physicist of God's existence and (2) it does not prove that God does not exist (123-33). Wilkinson seems to favor a complementarian relationship between science and theology. Science handles the "How?" questions, while theology takes care of the "Why?" questions (130-32).
The argument from design is equally unsatisfactory since it does not prove the existence of a singular Christian God of goodness, love, and grace (141). The anthropic balances in the universe, however, do demonstrate that science is pressed to give an adequate explanation (143). Wilkinson also stresses the role of wonder and awe that the anthropic balances and the inherent symmetry and beauty of nature produce in the minds of scientists and theologians alike.
Observation of supernovae in 1998 led to the announcement that the post- Big Bang universe is not slowing down its expansion, it is speeding up (153). Although the scientific consequences are yet unclear and the evidence far from proven, Wilkinson claims that "the theological consequences are clear" (155). A rapidly expanding universe directs our attention naturally to a future of futility and death. We might very well be living in an increasingly hostile universe. If the state of the universe is less anthropic-oriented than previously thought, could it be that extra-terrestrial intelligences of an imperfect nature were the creators of our universe (160-63, 166-67)? "The evidence for the existence of God is much stronger than that for superior beings in another universe" (167), Wilkinson concludes.
The final chapter of the volume (169-89) is a refreshing focus on divine revelation as the means of true knowledge about the universe. Human intelligence cannot comprehend the mind of God, so God has initiated the contact and revealed His sovereign w ill. From Scripture the Christian can be certain that "God is the sole creator of the universe" (175-77), "God is the source of the order in the universe" (177-82), "God puts relationship at the heart of the universe" (182-85), and "God is meant to be worshipped" (185-86). All four of these biblical truths come to full fruition in the person of Jesus Christ (186-89). Jesus Himself is the supreme evidence for the existence of God and His creation of the universe.
Wilkinson takes the position that there should not be a conflict between true science and true Christian faith. He explains that the ultimate questions raised in scientific investigation are often of a nature answerable by biblical faith. Without apology he stands firmly against deism and staunchly defends Christian theism. The only seeming failure is his apparent acquiescence to an ancient universe requiring some 12 billion years to reach its current state. In an appendix ("A 'Brief History' of Genesis," 195-205) he lays out in greater detail the reasons why he believes that a literary analysis of Genesis 1 results in a rejection of 7-day creationism, the gap theory, the day-age theory, and the revelatory-days theory. The book closes with a helpful annotated bibliography (207-13), end notes (214-18), and an index (219-24).

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Domino-ADOPTION PENDING, a Maple Grove Australian Shepherd/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Shepherd/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Maple Grove, or seeking a Australian Shepherd/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) puppy from a breeder in Maple Grove.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Maple Grove 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 Maple Grove 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 Australian Shepherd/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Australian Shepherd/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Maple Grove paves the way for another one to be saved.

Aligning the T-bolts on my router table's fence with the T-track slots in the table was a hassle. I could never tell which way the T-bolt heads were facing, because they were hidden beneath the fence. To eliminate the guesswork, I sawed a slot in the visible end of each T-bolt to indicate the head's orientation.

Good John Wayne Movie
Good reviews below, especially the comments by "Dark Moon." George Hayes certainly alternates his speech in different scenes, taking on the speech characteristics of "Gabby" and his natural voice. George "Gabby" Hayes was my favorite "sidekick" to the different western heroes in the movies, such as Roy Rogers. John Wayne did well in this movie.

Interesting bit of history? / Lucille
Toward the end of the film, when the rustlers show up at the Lazy M to steal Bess Mathews' horse herd, the director uses what appears to be stock footage of a roundup. How much stock footage did they have available in 1935, though? Watch closely, and see if you don't agree that it was copied frame-for-frame from silent film footage. Silent films were shot at a slower frame rate than the "talkies"; the horses the herders are riding appear to be walking a bit fast, there. :) These scenes are a bit more grainy-- and the exposure is more uneven-- than the rest of the film, and the sound only vaguely matches the action. I suppose most people would be "Meh, so what?" but little behind-the-scenes things like this interest me, especially when a historical dimension is added. ("Unknown Chaplin" is one of my most prized documentaries in my video collection...)
As for Lucille Browne, I have to agree that her acting is uneven at best. But I also have to say that Mr. Bradbury directed her strangely. In her first appearance, where her car stalls out on the way in to town, she looks and speaks directly into the camera. In my experience, this is done only when the script calls for "breaking the 4th wall" and having the character speak directly to the audience. Yet it becomes immediately clear when the scene cuts to the next camera angle that she is speaking to her driver. Most peculiar...
In general, I have to agree with other reviewers who have remarked that they like Wayne's earlier work better. For me, this is because he was still an actor in a movie, while his later films (with the notable exception of The Quiet Man) were more inclined to be star vehicles for the showcasing of John Wayne.

Great acting by some
utterly horrible by others especially Lucile Browne as Bess. She acts like she's in a grade school production of Shakespeare..you almost expect her to look to the director to ask what the next line is.. Wayne should have slapped her and said, "alright little missy..if'n yer gonna act then act right. otherwise go hustle drinks and strip in the saloon!"
I like the movie only because it was so early in Wayne's career, but gawd almighty she was worse than rats chewing on breakfast.

Love those old John Wayne Flicks
It's nice to see a young John Wayne who's likeable and unassuming. Simple plots with lots of riding, shooting, beautiful open country, and bad guys who bite the dust. The good guys win and get the girl. Great Stuff! You can't beat these old films for pure entertainment value! Enjoy!

love john wayne flicks!
Right now, I am downloading the Texas Terror and loving it. I have this film on tape but I have always wanted on DVD along with some other of Mr. Wayne's films. The years from 1931-1938
were as Mr. Wayne refer to as "his drinkin' and eatin' years" These films were made in 8 days at approximatly 10 to 15 thousand on budget with
a chunk of it going to John as star. Lone Star
gave way to Republic studios and John went along
with the switchover. In 1939, John Ford made a little film called Stagecoach and the rest they say is history.

Nice One
A very good early John Wayne B western written and directed by Robert Bradbury, the father of western actor Bob Steele, and probably one of the best B western directors until Leslie Selander came on the scene a few years later. It's interesting to watch George Hayes' performance in this one. It seems he's not sure if he wants to use his "Gabby" voice or his normal voice, and he switches back and forth from scene to scene. LeRoy Mason, as usual, makes a worthy villian. There is lots of good action. As with most of these early westerns, however, I miss the chase music. Good print.

Now that the presumptive nominees have been picked for the Republican and Democratic parties, a general election strategy is beginning to emerge for both parties.
On Wednesday Sen. John McCain sent a letter to Sen. Barack Obama inviting him to participate in a series of 10 town hall meetings before the Democratic National Convention in August.
"I propose these town hall meetings be as free from the regimented trappings, rules and spectacle of formal debates as possible," McCain wrote. "And that we pledge to the American people we will not allow the idea to die on the negotiation table as our campaigns work out the details."
According to The Associated Press, an advisor to Obama's campaign said the Democrat is receptive to the idea.
The source also said the Obama campaign would like to see exchanges that are structured more like the historic Lincoln-Douglas debates.
McCain proposes that the town halls include up to 400 audience members, be between 60-90 minutes long. He would also like the audience to ask the questions.

By Ulrike Rodrigues
Belinda and I are with Colin in his Subaru, heading south into the village. It's a bike village: every time we stop for a light, a stop sign, or a pedestrian crossing, bikes swirl around and in front of us. They hang off the front of public buses, the backs of overwhelmed hatchbacks, and from the rafters of bars. Just about everyone in this car-free village rides, owns, sells, or services bikes, and I am high on the energy of this.
Some of the energy comes from the pure sinfulness of it. For the last few days we've driven the five or so kilometres from Bel's home into the village proper when it would have taken about ten minutes to ride on the paved bike trails. I allow the mixture of guilt and titillation to wash over me.
Add to that that these people are not metrosexual hipsters with skinny jeans and single speeds but mountain bikers seeking the excess and artifice of Whistler's Kokanee Crankworx Mountain Bike Festival and I feel like I'm in dreamy evil Las Vegas again.
At Vegas' yearly Interbike industry trade show, mostly male retailers and manufacturers populate booths and tents and "work the golf course" - Colin's phrase for networking amidst the knobbies. Interbike divides the on-site conventioneering from the off-site dirt demos, but at Crankworx it's all mashed up. Here, the industry pros move a step backwards to make room for the reason they're there in the first place: people who ride bikes. Men who ride bikes. Men. Lots of them.
There's testosterone in the air, and I feel it. Before leaving Bel's house, I tart myself up for the "sausage-fest" - as my male colleagues call it - of bikers cruising the expo tents, the slope-side bars, and the slopes themselves. Warriors are everywhere - big, burly, dual-suspension-riding men in full-face helmets and body armour.
We arrive, and Colin takes off to stake out photo platforms along the dual slalom course. Bel and I giddily stroll among the booths of disk brakes, hydration packs, and bike frames. We gather up bouquets of promo brochures, temporary tattoos, and party invitations then settle in at the Garibaldi Lift Company for a drink before the event.
We decide to join a couple of barely-legal lads on a viewing platform next to the "Boneyard" - Whistler's amped mountain bike park. Tomorrow, riders will complete its freestyle course by delivering "air packaged goods" off the top of its five-storey Jumbotron TV. Today, all eyes are on the Kokanee Girls who work their way through the tables and offer free bottles of blue-labelled beer for acts of bravery.
One of our table-mates, Ben, takes the bait and allows one of the gals to paste a Sasquatch tattoo on his forehead. She wets the paper and holds her hand to his forehead while it sets. She's wearing roller-girl white terry shorts, and I can see a V of white panty underneath. When I ask for a photograph, both she and the other marketeer lean in close to Ben's face.
Ben is nonplussed. He's got a new, cold bottle in his hand but his eyes are scanning the jumps, berms, and drop-offs of the Boneyard. "Do you ride?" he asks, his eyes flickering briefly in my direction.
I think about my bike. It's a plain model that I ride to and from work every day. It's a bike I've packed and ridden in Cuba, Belize, Mexico, New Zealand, Canada, the U.S., and four solo months in Thailand. It's the bike I've loaded with books, groceries, camping equipment, and people. And it's a bike that has sat - unridden - in Bel's hallway for four days.
"Nope," I tell him, "I don't ride."
Bel heads off for a quick stint of guiding tourists the 200 metres from their tour bus doors to the Gondola. I aim for the dual slalom course. Spectators are lining up along the side of its parallel motocross-style tracks. I tuck in behind a junket of magazine photographers and wait for the "head-to-head high-speed action".
Girlishly, I await the warriors.

Novo Nordisk Receives 'Approvable Letter' From FDA
On October 8, 2003, Novo Nordisk announced that it had received an "Approvable Letter" from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for insulin detemir, its long-acting insulin analog.
At present, Lantus (insulin glargine), manufactured by Aventis, is the only long-acting insulin analog on the market.
In the letter, the FDA requests that Novo Nordisk address certain clinical issues and provide additional information before U.S. marketing approval can be granted. The company says that it is working with the FDA to clarify and resolve outstanding issues.
Novo Nordisk expects to provide an update of the timeline for U.S. approval when it releases its 2003 financial statement on February 5, 2004 pending completion of consultations with the FDA.

anyone tried growing lamb's ear under maple trees?
thanks |

It managed to survive only because it spread out in sheer desperation. It gradually crawled out into the lawn well beyond the tree-shadow, and died out around the tree. We moved them out of the lawn and into a shaded bed nearby, and they are fine. Tried to move a few back into the area of the tree, and that was a bad idea..... |
guess I'll be looking for another spot. thanks for your help |
I have grown sedum and violets around the trunk of my sugar maple. The lambs' ears may survive on the sunny (south) side, but probably not near the tree trunk, in the deep shade. |
Ditto, mine need part sun to thrive. You might ry some coral bells or wood violets under the maple tree and put hte lambs ear more toward the outside so it gets a bit of sun. Periwinkle (vinca) is another good choice for under the tree, and of course, pachysandra. We have a huge apple tree that gives similar deep shade and in addition to hostas, I have Solomon's Seal, Jacob's ladder, and dicentras along with coral bells, Japanese painted ferns, both wood and Labrador violets, ajuga, and hellebores. I have plenty of color and lots of interesting foliage. I also put some impatiens in during the spring and they also add pops of color until frost. Cathy (MA) |
Violets grow under my maple tree, which has huge surface roots impossible to mow over, if grass would grow there, which it won't anyway. Also sedums and ajuga do fine there. When it gets hot and dry, the violets go dormant, and self-seeded perennial rudbeckia Goldsturm, which have made themselves at home under there, come along and bloom beautifully in the shade of the maple. Blackberry lilies (belamcanda) have settled in near the trunk and do well there also. |
