N. Cascades opens today; Tootsie will be 1st in line
The highway department's priorities this week: Scrape the last ice off the North Cascades Highway to open the state's northernmost route today. Then tell octogenarian Tootsie Clark at The Eatery west of Marblemount that today's the day the pass will open.
Seattle Times staff reporter
ROCKPORT, Skagit County — The highway department's priorities this week:
Scrape the last ice off the North Cascades Highway to open the state's northernmost route today, beating the old record by two weeks.
Tell octogenarian Tootsie Clark at The Eatery west of Marblemount that today's the day the pass will open.
Clark set her alarm for 2 o'clock this morning to do what she's done since the 1980s: bake fresh cinnamon rolls and race her 1988 Cadillac 30 miles up Highway 20 to be first in line when the westside gate opens.
The opening of the highway means so much to merchants on both sides of the pass that many line up behind her to celebrate the opening, Clark says, and one of these days one of them's going to beat her.
"They keep threatening!"
Open gates
At 11 a.m. today the winter closing of the North Cascades Highway will be history. Since the highway opened in the 1970s, there's never been an earlier reopening or faster attempt to clear snow from the 34-mile pass with an elevation of 5,447 feet.
This year, instead of the traditional 70-foot-deep snowdrifts to remove, state transportation workers spent 10 days cutting through 2 feet of solid ice.
Traffic delays are still expected, however, as work continues on landslide areas.
Though it's "cold, cold, cold," Clark's ritual is to drive once the gates open to Rainy Pass and take photos of the snow depth. If she's needed back at The Eatery, she turns around there. But most years she drives the entire 80 miles to Mazama to pick up wine at the Lost River Winery, a customer favorite.
And back on the same day?
"Oh, yes!"
Clark's father was a big proponent of a cross-state highway. She and her husband, Rudy, started driving across the North Cascades in 1971 before the road was even finished.
Though she still gets local people lined up outside The Eatery on Saturday nights in the offseason, the cafe and cabins at Clark's Skagit River Resort were like a "ghost town" earlier this week compared to the 1,000-plus cars a day that will cross the pass when it's open.
Washington state Department of Transportation crews from the Methow Valley side began clearing the 34-mile closure zone Feb. 28. Because of this year's mild winter, a task that can take from one to two months was completed in 10 days, another record.
The demand for Clark's buttery cinnamon rolls at the Milepost 134 gate keeps going up, and this year she expected to bake several dozen, which she carries in her trunk with jugs of coffee.
Tootsie Clark — so named when a family friend called her "Toots" instead of her given name of Madrene — comes from a long line of tiny, determined women intent on feeding their neighbors.
Her grandmother came to the upper Skagit Valley by canoe in 1889 to open a roadhouse for hungry gold miners. In the 1930s, her father and mother created "the first hot tub," Clark teases; they treated neighbors to Saturday baths in water heated by electricity that ran the family's lumber mills and cheese factory.
Her son, Don, and daughter, Judi Brooks (and husband Bob) came back in 1990 to help when Tootsie's husband, sister and brother died within months of each other.
Whiskey-laced bread pudding, mincemeat pies and pork-slaw sandwiches. ... Judi is trying to add some of her mother's recipes to a cookbook, but Tootsie is hard to pin down.
"I don't measure," she says.
God willing and the cinnamon rolls rise, Clark will be home early enough tonight to get up at 6 a.m. tomorrow to help her crew open The Eatery, ignoring admonishments to sleep in.
She'll work that hard until late fall, when she'll think to herself:
When is that highway going to close?

- Accelerated laboratory pavement model test on cemented base and clay subgrade
- Author(s)
- Gnanendran, C. T.; Piratheepan, J.; Ramanujam, J.; Arulrajah, Arul
- Abstract
- This paper examines the pavement model test box (PMTB) testing method and its suitability for determining the stiffness modulus, fatigue and permanent deformation properties of a pavement structure constructed with a cementitiously stabilized granular base layer of 250 mm thickness and a clay subgrade layer of 330 mm thickness that are required for the design of a pavement structure involving these materials. A new laboratory PMTB test setup with extensive instrumentations to measure soil deformations and strains is presented in this paper. The suitability of this testing arrangement for determining the stiffness, fatigue and permanent deformation characteristics of a pavement structure was examined by studying the characteristics of a granular base material stabilized with 1.5 % general blend (GB) cement-flyash and a clay subgrade material. The test was continued at a frequency of 3 Hz up to 8 millions load cycles and measured horizontal tensile strain at the bottom of the stabilised base layer was used to determine the fatigue life of the stabilised layer. This study indicates that the deformation and strain measurement setups used for PMTB testing is suitable for undertaking cyclic load PMTB tests to determine the stiffness, fatigue and permanent deformation properties of the materials reliably.

POSTED: Friday, February 26, 2010 - 12:12pm
UPDATED: Thursday, April 22, 2010 - 9:38am
Longview Police Detectives have scored a victory in the battle against car burglars, arresting known vehicle burglary suspect Clifton Craver.
Early yesterday morning, an unknown person in a silver, late model Chevrolet Monte Carlo burglarized a 2007 Ford Explorer that was parked in the parking lot of Long Park while the victim exercised on the walking trail. The victim had left her purse in the Explorer and the suspect had broken out the front
passenger side window, stealing the purse that contained cash, credit cards and the victim's social security card.
Officers immediately canvassed the area and issued a City wide alert to other
officers that gave a detailed description of the Monte Carlo. Photos of the Monte Carlo were obtained from the surveillance system that monitors the Long Park parking lot and a silver Monte Carlo that matched the description of the suspect vehicle was located at a residence that Craver is known to frequent.
Detectives from the Longview Police Special Investigations and Apprehension
(SIA) Unit, working in conjunction with the Kilgore Police Department, located
Craver driving the silver Monte Carlo in Kilgore and he was stopped for traffic
violations. During the stop, detectives located a GPS unit on the dashboard of
Craver's vehicle that was stolen in a motor vehicle burglary at the Sports Page in Longview on February 23rd.
SIA Detectives then obtained a search warrant for Craver's residence in Kilgore.
Once inside, they located items from numerous vehicle burglaries that occurred
across Longview. These items included the victim's property from the Long Park
vehicle burglary, property from motor vehicle burglaries that occurred at the
Court House Athletic Club and a handgun that was stolen from a vehicle burglary
that occurred at the Longview Lanes bowling alley.
Clifton Craver, date of birth 3-10-1983 of 11707 CR 167 Kilgore, has been
arrested and charged with two counts of burglary of a motor vehicle (Class A
misdemeanor), credit card abuse (State jail felony) and theft of a firearm (State jail felony). He is currently being held in the Kilgore City Jail and is set to be arraigned this morning.
The investigation is open and ongoing.

It was the summer of 2008 and two friends sat on a dusty porch in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Contemplating the systemic changes happening around them, Sadaf and Cate sensed a radical shift in the scale of the problems faced by communities around the world. Knowing orthodox solutions to these new and evolving challenges may not cut it, they were confronting a common dilemma: how can individuals affect meaningful change?
Deciding to combine their talents and resources to spark something new, they founded Kindle Project. Cate came to Kindle with a background in progressive philanthropy and inherited wealth which she had already been sharing. She was committed to contributing her wealth to something meaningful and Kindle was it. Sadaf came to Kindle with a background in the non-profit sector and a fresh perspective on systems change after receiving her Masters Degree from the United Nations University for Peace. She was committed to bringing her skills and grassroots experience to something distinct, and, for her as well, Kindle was it. With the help of a trusted team of diverse advisors, they were a combined force to be reckoned with and crafted their out-of-the-box organization.
After much deliberation, around the clock strategizing, and the advisement and work of a dynamic team, it was clear: Kindle Project would disrupt the status quo by funding in creative and unconventional ways and supporting off-the-radar people and projects contributing to systems change.
First, there was the creation of the Kindle Project LLC which provided the structure to enable Sadaf and Cate to provide direct support to organizations and individuals that did not have tax-exempt status. However, they also knew that many of the projects they would likely support were traditional non-profits, sometimes doing very non-traditional work. To that end, they set up the Kindle Project Fund of the Common Counsel Foundation in 2011. From awards to renegade whistleblowers like John Bolenbaugh to grants to organizations like Amazon Watch, Kindle has primed itself to be a nimble funder, able to seed creativity, imagination and projects. Kindle's funding philosophy was, and still is, rooted not on a project's institutional affiliation but on merit, passion, drive, experimentation, originality and risk.
Kindle's spirit of renegade funding has achieved success in large part because of the deep commitment to breaking the barriers so often present between funders and grantees. This is the foundation upon which all Kindle relationships are built–knowing that every person and project has a voice of equal importance.
Kindle's programs have always been about funding in radical ways and we are now creating more avenues to push boundaries and flex creativity in the philanthropic sector. Kindle Project is playing a catalytic role in inspiring an existing movement of like-minded funders, donors and organizations by helping to shape the field of Indie Philanthropy by creating a network of change-makers and resources to achieve bold solutions.
What was started by two friends in 2008 has continued to carry a strong and growing legacy. With advisors, staff, the Common Counsel Foundation, consultants and a Kindle Project Steering Committee–the organization has a chorus of voices and expertise that continues to propel us into the future. Sadaf remains Director while Cate remains a close ally and advisor to the organization, after stepping down as Co-Director in 2011. When Cate stepped down, she generously provided funds for Kindle to carry on for several years.
We are actively seeking funding partners who are looking for strategic ways to direct their philanthropic dollars. Whether you are an individual donor, a conscious company or a progressive private foundation, if you'd like to break convention and create change in unexpected and amazing ways, we'd like to invite you to be part of the next chapter in the Kindle story.

Comments about R & R Imports Jeff Gordon Tin Money Bank:
Key ring is not stable for too many keys and is difficult to add them onto the ring because the fabric gets caught on the ring.
The coin drum is nothing more than an over-priced tin can with a misapplied 24 sticker on the side that has already fallen off.
Not only am I insulted by the below par quality of these items, I am thrilled to have not actually spent my own money on them - they were sadly purchased with a gift card that I am certain was given with the intent that the merchandise would reflect NASCAR's good name...not the case at all.

The final chapter of the saga between Fort Erie's council and the head of its Economic Development and Tourism Corporation came to a quiet conclusion last week at Town Hall.
A motion from Ward 6 Coun. Paul Collard to have Jim Thibert, the general manager of the EDTC, give an "apology to the affected parties" was defeated.
The motion stems from a budget meeting last month where Thibert delivered a presentation which several councillors later described as containing "colourful language."
"This motion says that council is displeased, but, I am not personally displeased," said Ward 1 Coun. Stephen Passero.
Mayor Doug Martin or Ward 2 Coun. Rick Shular both agreed and didn't support drafting a letter to the EDTC board to have Thibert come before council and apologize.
"I really see no merit in extending this situation any further, people on both sides have already vented their positions," said Shular.
Rounding out the majority in the 4-3 vote was council's representative on the EDTC, Ward 4 Coun. John Hill, who agreed with Passero and said he was not personally displeased with Thibert's presentation and therefore didn't supporting sending a letter which said "council" is displeased.
"It is debateable whether or not some of the comments were inappropriate, but I'm not going to get into that again," said Hill.
The unsuccessful motion from Collard was supported by Ward 5 Coun. Don Lubberts, and Ward 3 Coun. Bob Steckley.
Lubberts and Collard previously called for Thibert's resignation, and both voted to cut off funding to the EDTC until he was removed, but were unsuccessful in mustering a majority of support during budget debates.
During that budget meeting, Steckley said an apology would be made for the colourful comments, but Thibert – who was in attendance for the meeting – chirped from the back of the room that he would not be apologizing.
In a letter to media, Thibert defended the comments he made during the presentation, saying they were used for "literary effect" and "brevity."

Lakewood Ranch Medical Center, Manatee Memorial Hospital and Blake Medical Center announced today tobacco use will no longer be permitted on their campuses on Sept. 1.
Following the example of the hospitals and health departments in Sarasota, DeSoto and Charlotte counties — which became tobacco free in 2007 — and other hospitals across the nation, the three hospitals in Manatee have decided to become tobacco free citing that the health risks of tobacco use conflict with their objective of providing a safe and healthy environment for patients, employees, physicians and visitors.
Establishment of this policy recognizes the health, safety and comfort benefits of tobacco-free air and the special responsibility that hospitals have in maintaining, and promoting a healthy and safe environment.
"The American Heart Association is an advocate for smoke-free workplaces at the state and local levels," said Dr. Bill Gower, past president of the American Heart Association's Greater Southeast Affiliate.

Prosecutors have accused a woman of slowly stealing thousands of dollars from more than 50 physically or mentally disabled adults who are clients at a Billings nonprofit where she used to do bookkeeping.
According to charging documents, 48-year-old Marcia Catherine Geraghty Ketchem used various methods over the last two years to steal — usually only a few dollars at a time — at least $4,800 from clients at Billings Training Industries, a non-profit that provides services, including employment, for adults
with physical and learning disabilities.
The alleged victims range from about 67 to 20 years old, court records say.
Ketchem is charged with exploitation of an older person with a developmental disability, common scheme. The charge is a felony that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years prison.
She made an initial appearance on the charge Wednesday in Yellowstone County Justice Court. Judge Pedro R. Hernandez allowed her to remain free from jail without bond, on the condition that she have no contact with any of the alleged victims, because she appeared in court as ordered.
A supervisor with Billings Training Industries referred the case to Billings police, Adult Protective Services and the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services in May after an internal review found that Ketchem, a part-time clerical worker, had altered financial records and stolen thousands of dollars from 54 of Billings Training Industries clients, court records say.
In March, Ketchem was asked to leave the nonprofit. The nonprofit has 63 clients and two locations, one at 604 Hewitt Drive and the other at 917 First Ave. N., court records say.
Charging documents say that Ketchem intentionally mismanaged clients' financial records and would enter clients' paychecks for less then their actual value and then apparently pocketed the difference.
An investigator also found that receipts for purchases were sometimes recorded as more than the amount of money actually spent, again with Ketchem apparently keeping the difference.
Court records say that some of the $15 bonuses Billings Training Industries gave to its clients were not entered in the records that Ketchum oversaw.
While investigators were not able to determine a larger amount, Ketchum may have stolen than $4,800, court records indicate.
She is scheduled to be arraigned in District Court on July 31.

Ex-lawyer and ex-sugarholic, David Gillespie, revolutionised the lives and eating habits of thousands of Australians with his bestsellers on the dangers of sugar, Sweet Poison and The Sweet Poison Quit Plan. To help get us unhooked from sugar, David with the help of wife Lizzie, gave us recipes for sweet foods made with dextrose-pure glucose, a healthy alternative to table sugar. Here, David has worked with a chef to develop more delicious fructose-free recipes.
Sweet Poison Quit Plan Cookbook features more than 80 illustrated recipes for Australia's favourite sweet treats, from Anzac biscuits, lamingtons and pavlova to chocolate cake, baklava, brownies and doughnuts. If you don't eat sugar but still have kids to feed, birthday parties to throw, and guests popping in for morning tea, the solution is right here. These are the special treats that you can eat for the rest of your life.
About the Author
David Gillespie is a recovering corporate lawyer, co-founder of a successful software company and consultant to the IT industry. He is also the father of six young children (including one set of twins). With such a lot of extra time on his hands, and 40 extra kilos on his waistline, he set out to investigate why he, like so many in his generation, was fat. He deciphered the latest medical findings on diet and weight gain and what he found was chilling. Being fat was the least of his problems. He needed to stop poisoning himself.

Best Uses
Many people publish books on how to change your eating patterns and make healthy choices. David Gillespie explains how there are many forms of sugar and how these need to be given up for better choices. Not only does he educate us about sugar now in this book he gives us recipes that uses healthy ingredients but are helpful in times when we need sweat treats. The illustrations are excellent and the book contains over 80 recipes.
Best Uses
Still reading and discovering new way of doing things
Best Uses
It's like a normal cookbook but with only using glucose great recipes for all occasions a healthier choice...
Best Uses
I have read the previously written David Gillespie Sweat Poison books after hearing an interview on radio. I refer to the Sweat Poison Quit Plan often. Big Fat Lies was an eye opener. For me the cookbook has enabled me to pull together food friends and family will eat and enjoy. (Without thinking what is she trying to feed us now) it looks good tastes good and is good to eat -always remembering too much of a good thing will bite you on the hips!
Without preaching sugar, low fat ( where they up the sugar and sodium to make it taste ok) avoid - read the books pick up the Sweat Poison link and read/think and be wow'd by what you will find out.
Best Uses
The book arrived quickly which was good as I was keen to try the no sugar cooking. However I have tried 1 recipe only and feel it may not be for me. There is a bitter taste that I do not enjoy. I also used gluten free flour and that may not go with the dextrose.
Best Uses
David Gillespie's book is a break through for people cooking without sugar. It is so easy to follow, ingredients are easy to get (or in most cupboards)so that cooks like me (very amateurish) can make an Anzac biscuit look and taste like the sugared version, without the sugar of course! Thank you David!

The Equal Pay Act, which mandates equal pay between the sexes for equal work, actually became law before Title VII, in 1963. While EPA claims often accompanied Title VII sex discrimination claims, there were some significant limitations in the law. One of those limitations was highlighted by Lilly Ledbetter, a supervisor at a Goodyear plant in Gasden, Alabama. Ledbetter worked at a Goodyear plant for almost two decades as one of only a few females in a supervisory role. She was repeatedly denied pay raises, although her male counterparts were not. Near the end of her employment, she figured this out and brought suit — ultimately getting a $3.3 million verdict.
Goodyear appealed, claiming that the legacy of pay discrimination was time-barred and that Ledbetter could only challenge pay decisions made within 180 days of her EEOC filing. Ultimately, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed with Goodyear in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Inc., 550 U.S. 618 (2007), finding in a 5-4 decision that the 180 day statute of limitations applied to claims of pay discrimination.
During the 2008 presidential campaign pay equity was a major issue and the first bill signed by the new President, Barack Obama, was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 — a law which effectively reversed the Supreme Court's decision. Under the Act, the clock for filing pay discrimination claims starts when compensation is received, and restarts each time an employee receives a discriminatory paycheck. As long as workers file their claims within 180 days of receiving a discriminatory paycheck, their claims are valid. It also limits the amounts employers owe as back-pay. Back-pay awards are, however, limited to two years before an employee files a pay discrimination claim under Title VII.
The Obama Administration remains committed to making pay equity a priority. On April 8, President Obama signed an executive order that addresses the issue of unequal pay among federal contractors. Although disparity still exists, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act gives hope that one day there truly will be equal pay for all.

I've done some research into the subject, and I know the pros and cons of both ships. I was just hoping to get a few more opinions about them. I only do PvE (Elite STFs), and if I ever do PvP I probably won't be very serious about it. I know the Defiant and its cloaking device is great for PvP. I'm just wondering which ship you guys prefer, and why.
I prefer the Fleet Escort. But it's up to you.

There are several ways to connect your laptop to a TV. In most cases, you'll be able to connect one of these three connectors directly to your TV: VGA, DVI or HDMI. Additionally, unless you're using an HDMI connector, you'll need a 3.5mm audio RCA cable with a mini-jack splitter or a mini-jack connector in order to transmit an audio signal. In most cases you'll need one of the following adapter/cable combinations.

Dr. John Peterson, a board-certified dermatologist, calls upon more than 40 years of hair-restoration and dermatological experience to help rejuvenate thinning hair with advanced laser technology. Dr. Peterson helps clients achieve verdant head foliage according to his Natural Look Method, which redistributes hair grafts from bounteous head regions to receding hairlines, leaving a thicker, natural-looking head of hair. Dr. Peterson and his staff treat patients at his clinic with the Revage 670 laser, but also provide iGrow systems and hair-restoration products for clients who want to treat themselves at home or while picketing the local toupee shop.
Get six hair-pulverizing sessions on one of the following areas: bikini line (a $617 value), eyebrows ($382), underarms ($559), upper lip ($294), navel strip ($323), back of neck ($559), hands ($382), feet ($382), nose ($294), sideburns ($323), jaw line ($483), ears ($382), chin ($382), cheeks ($323), and areolae ($294). Enlighten Laser Cosmetics uses four kinds of laser technology (and ensures that all skin types can be treated), with a fifth currently being built to flash colors around the room for your dancing pleasure. The system effectively seeks and dissipates hairs of any color (including blond) protruding from skin of any tone (including Grinch green) by heating up melanin in the follicle, thus stunting growth. The six-session siege on unwanted whiskers is usually sufficient for long-term smoothness.

At The Man Spa, the staff of high-trained stylists brings a touch of class and fashion acumen to the chair during grooming services tailored solely to gentlemen. Doling out exquisite haircuts, facials, and massages in a fun and relaxed environment, the female stylists primp and prim men with luxurious treatments designed to help men look and feel at the top of their game. Hot towel shaves and sports mani-pedis round out the treatments in this lavish club atmosphere.
Though their methods may seem futuristic, Rejuva-You is old fashioned when it comes to caring for clients. Technicians specialize in ultrasonic fat reduction to trim silhouettes and radio frequency skin-tightening used on the face and body. A few strategic passes of these wands can firm skin, soften the appearance of stretch marks, or make a top hat look better by conjuring a rabbit. And with office hours six days a week, the staff can accommodate busy schedules.
A wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas—its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries—Planet Beach Contempo Spa is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray tan skin, and massage muscles.
Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.

Running off Windows 7, the PC-based integrated platform is managed through Christieâs exclusive MasterSuite⢠Lite software, which makes managing even the most sophisticated display wall projects simple.
More than a standard a video controller, third-party software applications can operate directly off the TVC-500 desktop. Video or DVI/RGB inputs can be positioned anywhere on the display wall, at any size, with extremely fast refresh rates. Up to 100 remote networked desktops can also display via high speed Gigabit Ethernet.

Obama is pushing a business tax break that he thinks will help stimulate the economy and maybe give the impression that he is not against business. Wrong on both counts.
Businesses will invest when it looks profitable to do so. They are not impulse buyers that buy just becaus eof a tax break. Some businesses still 9in business may consider replacing old worn out ewuipment, but the economy is not right for taking chances. Even many democrats with more business sense than Obama are opposing it. See HuffPo link below.

My primary care doctor wants me to start taking 2000 units of Omega 3 to help reduce triglycerides and raise the good cholesterol, although my total is 117. I had bought liquid from an online site some years ago, but quit taking it. So I went down the the pharmacy and looked at the array of stuff and all that was available was gels that looked HUGE! I can't swallow those large pills. So I bought some flax seed oil gels anyway. The gels are much cheaper for some reason than the liquid.

An article in The State this morning warns of a scam starting that contacts seniors for personal information saying they are from the government trying to protect them against a possible government default.
Like any scam, bells should ring when they ask for your personal data. They should already have it if they are legit. One way to check is to ask them to read off what information they have before you answer any questions. If all they have is your name, address and phone number, hang up, because that is in any telephone directory and on line.

Obama is proposing a reduction in the corporate tax rate. Wow! Can't believe it!
But look at the details. His plan will reduce many of the other tax breaks for corporations as well as raise the tax on dividends. So the typical Joe and Jane will say, "So what, that will affect the rich and not me." Wrong. Nearly every worker has a 401k and a pension program. Both the 401k and pension programs invest in Wall Street and stocks producing dividends is an important part.

I was watching CNN Headline News several times this week while eating a meal and it seems to me that they are not playing fair. For instance, they show the dead or wounded civilians in Lebanon and very little of those in Israel. Also they portray the Israel strikes, which are aimed at military targets with some civilian collateral damage as strikes against civilian targets. They say very little about the Hezbollah rockets, which are not guided and will fall indiscriminately on civilian targets.

Some of you may have noticed that some oak trees are shedding leaves and others aren't. There are a lot of different varieties of oaks, but one of the main ones is the Live Oak, but it sheds its leaves in the fall.
Those losing leaves now are the Spanish Oak, which looks like the Live Oak including the coarse bark on the trunk and the water oak, which has a smoother and lighter gray trunk. Another way to spot a Spanish Oak is that it sends out runners which form new little trees, but live oaks drop acorns.

This was sent by email, so consider the source, but if true, it was revealing to me.
Who was our first President?
I'm sure that George Washington was your best guess. After all, no one else comes to mind.
But think back to your history books - The United States Declared its independence in 1776, yet Washington did not take Office until April 30, 1789.
So who was running the country during these initial years of this young country?
It was the first eight U. S. Presidents.
In fact, the first President of the United States was one John Hanson.

Even in a 9-0 ruling, abortion counseling divides the Supreme Court
The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday refined the First Amendment rights of abortion opponents who want to talk with prospective patients outside abortion clinics. In a 9-0 ruling, the court gave new guidelines to states and cities, Chicago included, that seek to regulate the opponents outside clinics: In essence, such statutes may protect public safety and keep opponents from blocking access or intimidating patients — but can't stop opponents from speaking with women or offering them literature.
Yet on a topic this fraught with controversy, even a 9-0 ruling can leave the justices divided. Four of them argued that the opinion of Chief Justice John Roberts Jr., writing for himself and the court's four more liberal members, didn't go far enough to protect abortion opponents' right to free speech. Justice Antonin Scalia, in a concurring opinion, complained that Roberts and the liberals were perpetuating an indefensible double standard: "There is an entirely separate, abridged edition of the First Amendment applicable to speech against abortion." More on that below.
Thursday's ruling struck down a 7-year-old Massachusetts law that dealt not so much with abortion protesters as with those who call themselves abortion counselors. Roberts' opinion said the law, which set a 35-foot buffer zone around a clinic's entrance that such counselors couldn't enter, overly restricted activists such as 77-year-old lead plaintiff Eleanor McCullen who "seek only to inform women of various alternatives and to provide help in pursuing them" via "personal, caring, consensual conversations."
Over the years the Supreme Court has paid considerable attention to who can say what to whom outside abortion clinics. In a 2000 case, the justices let stand a Colorado law that established a 100-foot buffer zone outside all health facilities. Within that buffer the law created floating bubbles in which, say, anti-abortion activists can come within 8 feet of other individuals, such as women seeking abortions, without their consent.
In practice, that means someone such as Ms. McCullen can try to strike up a conversation without having to scream from afar, but can't come closer than 8 feet to a clinic patient. Chicago has a similar construct of 8-foot bubbles floating within 50-foot buffer zones outside medical facilities.
Thursday's ruling sympathizes with that emphasis on free speech: The court sent an unambiguous message that governments have to be especially careful about restricting activists on public streets and sidewalks outside abortion facilities. Roberts wrote that Massachusetts had taken "the extreme step of closing a substantial portion of a traditional public forum to all speakers."
Proponents of abortion rights say restrictions like this are needed to prevent protesters from hindering access to clinics and intimidating patients and clinic employees. Thursday's ruling, with its emphasis on freedom of expression, signals that if the court is leaning in one direction or another, it's not leaning toward more prohibitions on conversations and leafleting.
As word of the ruling spread, advocates on both sides of the abortion debate were speculating that buffer zones and bubbles may not be long for American law. Read between the lines of Roberts' opinion and you find suggestions that governments avoid limits on speech and instead keep the peace with existing laws against harassment, assault, public disturbance and other breaches of civil behavior.
Scalia's concurring opinion reads as if he saw Roberts and the court's liberals in a marriage of convenience: The liberals would join Roberts in narrowly striking down this Massachusetts law, and in return the chief justice wouldn't demolish all laws such as Colorado's that, in Scalia's view, "(give) abortion-rights advocates a pass when it comes to suppressing the free-speech rights of their opponents."
We won't adjudicate that dispute within the Supreme Court other than to reiterate the point we made 14 years ago when the justices ruled in the Colorado case:
Precisely targeted limits on protests may be justified at particular sites where demonstrators have engaged in violence or obstruction. But that doesn't excuse a blanket prohibition on peaceful efforts to dissuade women from getting abortions. Such activities, offensive though they may be to some, are exactly what the First Amendment is supposed to protect.
In our democracy, the people are supposed to have broad rights to debate issues and to translate their views into public policy.

2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid
If you're looking for the most cutting-edge hybrid that's based on a traditional midsize sedan, the Fusion is immediately impressive. The SmartGauge display is the most advanced instrumentation in this trio of hybrids, with four levels of information from the twin 4.3-inch, high-resolution LCD displays that flank the analog speedometer. Everyone who drove the Fusion had something great to say about the SmartGauge.
Once you get past the SmartGauge and pay attention to the powertrain that's being monitored so effectively, there's even more to love. This Fusion Hybrid can cruise on electric power alone at speeds up to 47 mph and the car frequently switches to EV mode once you reach cruising speed. We loved the seamless transition between gas and electric propulsion and we also thought the Fusion felt the most like a normal car. Consider the Fusion to be our choice for driving enthusiasts and eco-minded drivers alike.

The 7th edition of the Accordion Babes Album & Pin-Up Calendar
2015: The Year of the Accordion
In the 60's, when rock and roll hit the stages, and the sound of tube distortion became the sound of rebellion, the accordion became known as "that old squeezebox grandpa drags out every Christmas". It was the furthest thing from sexy, until now. After years of being bombarded with pixels and samples and mp3s, people are craving a real sound, with real soul. The accordions-- those living, breathing, sighing and laughing music boxes-- are coming out of grandpa's closet in style. The Accordion Babes are leading figures in this musical Renaissance, proving in these glossy pages that the accordion can be very sexy in the right hands! Here in the Accordion Babes 2015 Pin-Up Calendar, you can meet 12 of today's up-and-coming accordion stars in their sweetest, sexiest moments with the instruments they love, and hear their passionate music on the CD. SPECIAL FEATURE: The new song "Wolves are Cool" with lyrics by Peter S. Beagle and music by the Rebel Lovers. This track is included on the Accordion Babes 2015 compilation CD.

In the art and fashion worlds, many a project begins with a fabulous party. In the case of "Supermodels of the '70s and '80s," the photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders's new exhibition at Steven Kasher Gallery in Chelsea, it was a party thrown by the hairstylist Harry King. "The room was full of all these fabulous women," the photographer says, "and it seemed an obvious opportunity."
BLACK POWER: Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and Elvis Mitchell look pretty prescient right now.
When the two men conceived of "The Black List: Volume One," Barack Obama hadn't yet declared his intention to run for president. By the time the film debuted on HBO last August, Obama's campaign was well under way.
Now, "The Black List: Volume Two" is premiering on HBO tonight, and the concept of a film celebrating the African-American experience takes on new currency.
LENS CRAFTER: Photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders almost skipped the September Seventies and Eighties fashion reunion hosted by his friend, British hairstylist Harry King. But it was there that Greenfield-Sanders found the idea for his next project. As soon as Greenfield-Sanders saw the era's top models chatting each other up with their progeny, he thought, "This screams Vanity Fair group portrait.
Thursday, February 4, 2010
"I looked at the time and I knew: 7:30 - this guy wasn't going to get up that early."
Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, who is on the telephone from New York, has just said this to an interviewer situated on the west coast. His prediction came true.
Timothy's new portraits of Supermodels at Steven Kasher Gallery in Chelsea.
Supermodels of the 70s and 80s
Exhibition: January 28th- February 27th
"My work has always been about serial obsessions." says portrait photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders. When he was in his "artist" period, he photographed more than 700 luminaries of the art world over a 20-year span. Then it was musicians - he photographed them by the hundreds. Later he turned his lens on more than 100 fashion designers, and then he fixated on stars of pornography. His latest image obsession is prominent African-Americans.
Target exclusively has the DVD for "The Black List: Volume 2".
This distinctive and elegant follow-up to 2008's "The Black List: Vol. 1" follows a similar minimalist path in gathering prominent black figures to reveal something candid and insightful about themselves or their take on the world.
Angela Davis & "The Black List"
By Eiseley Tauginas
February 27, 2009
Gov. Deval Patrick is blacklisted — and he is in good company.
This month, HBO will release the second volume in its "The Black List" film series, which features prominent African Americans all over the country who are making history. The Bay State's governor was one of a select few who made this "List," which will premiere to local audiences at the Strand Theatre in Dorchester on Feb. 18.
"I was honored to be asked," Patrick said. "I'm in pretty heavy company."

Tumbled trees add up to trouble in city - 0 Comments
Boston may have been spared the brunt of Sandy's wrath, but don't tell that to the city's park crews, who spent yesterday removing dozens of trees that crashed through homes, blocked streets and otherwise wreaked havoc across the Hub.
"We've been straight out," said Parks Department head Jacque Goddard. "There were a lot of trees down and a lot of calls."
