Enjoy a Blustery Day with Pooh (A Rainy Day Survival Kit)
Posted By Jessica Fisher On October 24, 2011 @ 1:12 am In Family Fun,Printables,Promotions,Rainy Day Survival Kit,Seasonal Fun | Comments Disabled
I'll always remember when the oldest FishBoy was about four. We had been reading the Winnie the Pooh books for awhile. Along came a rainy, stormy day, and he said, "What a blustery day it is!"
Yes, indeed.
Winnie the Pooh has been a wonderful part of my children's early years. He's influenced our playtime as well as our vocabulary.
We talk of honey and leaving only the sticky part behind. We play Pooh sticks in every creek with a bridge crossing it. And my girls, the youngest of the crew, absolutely love the Pooh ride at Disneyland.
What would we do without Pooh?
One of the things that can wreak havoc on "life as mom" is a rain or snow day with nothing for the kids to do. And those days are approaching!
Plan for the next blustery day when your kids can't play outside by putting together a few rainy day survival kits. I've got a few ideas up my sleeve and I'll be sharing them with you over the next couple months.
What's in a Rainy Day Survival Kit?
- book and film recommendations
- links to coloring pages
- craft ideas and/or supplies lists
- recipes for cooking with kids
You can either gather what you need ahead of time or simply bookmark or pin this post to save it for a day when you really need it: when the kids are home sick, when school is canceled due to inclement weather, when something prevents them from getting outside and having fun, or whenever someone whines, "There's nothing to do, Mom!"
Hint: These ideas also work great for your next Winnie the Pooh-themed birthday party.
Here are some ideas to enjoy your next "boring" day at home with your little ones. Even big kids will probably get sucked into some of the baking, storytelling, and movie watching involved.
There are also a number of adaptations of Pooh Bear and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood, usually shorter version picture books of the same beloved stories. You can also buy the complete collection in one volume [8].
Winnie the Pooh celebrated his 85th birthday just a few weeks ago. The classic stories by A.A. Milne have been a part of childhood for several generations now.
And in commemoration, Disney is releasing the movie, Winnie the Pooh, tomorrow on Blu-Ray and DVD [9]. FishPapa took the littles a few months ago when it played in theatres so that they could enjoy the big screen edition. So fun! They loved it.
And while my middling kids (ages 9 and 10) would hate to admit a fondness for Pooh, I heard them roaring with laughter when we screened a review copy of the DVD. It's a new take on Winnie the Pooh with appeal for all ages.
Disney movies are often hard to come by as they carefully limit how many copies and when they are available. Now's the time to snatch one up. Watch for coupons later this week. Sometimes those do become available.
There are a wealth of other Pooh-themed movies to enjoy with your kids. Some are no longer available to buy new, but you can rent them on Amazon:
Disney has also made available a number of coloring pages [14] that you can download in a zipfile as well as some games and activity sheets for older kids [15].
Hold a teddy bear picnic – Gather all your children's stuffed animals in the living room on a picnic blanket. Serve tea (real or imagined) and just relax and imagine with your kids.
You can also:
Enjoy a Honey Muffin – Mix up these Honey Muffins, plump with golden raisins. And of course, include the kiddos in the cooking.
Recipe: Spiced Honey Muffins with Golden Raisins
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 3 1/2 cups unbleached, all purpose flour (you can sub up to 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour)
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon each ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and allspice
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Optional topping: 1 Tablespoon sunflower seeds
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat the oven to 350 °. Line 2 12-cup muffin tins with muffin papers.
- In a small bowl combine the raisins and hot water and allow the raisins to plump a bit.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
- In another bowl combine the milk, honey, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
- Add the wet mixture and the raisins to the dry mixture and fold gently with a rubber scraper until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
- In a small bowl combine the topping ingredients. Sprinkle this topping over the tops of the muffins, dividing evenly.
- Bake the muffins for about 20 to 25 minutes or until a tester comes out with a few crumbs attached. Cool on a wire rack.
Preparation time: 15 minute(s)
Cooking time: 20 minute(s)
Number of servings (yield): 12
Other delicious options include:
Win a Copy of Winnie the Pooh!
I have one DVD + Blu-ray combo pack of the new Winnie the Pooh movie to give away this week, courtesy of Disney.

Ohio alfalfa growers should be on the lookout for potato leafhopper, warns Ron Hammond, entomologist with Ohio State University Extension. The bright-green, wedge-shaped insect can cause a significant economic impact, reducing yield and quality.
Potato leafhopper is an annual spring pest in Ohio as it migrates north from Gulf Coast states, carried on winds in storm systems, he notes. "In alfalfa, potato leafhopper is definitely our No. 1 pest. It's an insect that, if allowed to go past threshold and develop young populations, can lead to damage such as stunting."
For second-crop scouting, Hammond recommends sweep-net sampling once alfalfa regrowth reaches sufficient height. In glandular-haired leafhopper-resistant alfalfa, the economic threshold is three times the normal threshold, or three leafhoppers per inch of growth. In 6"-tall alfalfa, the threshold would be 18 leafhoppers.
"However, if the resistant alfalfa is a new planting this spring, growers might want to use thresholds meant for regular alfalfa during the very first growth from seeding. After the first cutting, growers can then use three times the normal level threshold."
More on potato leafhopper, including how alfalfa-growing conditions might affect the threshold, can be downloaded here.

A Week On The Wrist: The SevenFriday P1
SevenFriday's watches have made a big splash over the past few months, getting a lot of attention from the watch press. Here at HODINKEE we're always excited to see people doing new and different things in the world of horology, so we decided to get our hands on a SevenFriday P1 to check it out for ourselves. After wearing the P1 for a week and doing some thorough research we came up with some pretty interesting results.

5 Superb and engrossing - this GOTY edition is even betternd1234 | 11/04/2011 | See all nd1234's reviews (15)Top 100 Clothing Reviewer I had been warned off AC1 but love this game. Spent hours and hours sneaking around medieval Italy and the developers obviously put so much effort into creating a marvellous replica of the era. Venice in particular is lovely, having visited, so much is familiar.The fluidity when free running over rooftops is superb, the missions are really engrossing.This edition has some DLC built in that fills in some story gaps. I wish I had activated it from the start, so if you get it I recommend you do so. It then gives you a seamless experience.Overall the game is sublime in places, and just a solid five star elsewhere.As an aside I did find the Templar lairs, unlike another reviewer. Maybe it was patched or something.
5 AC2Therevrend | 29/10/2010 | See all Therevrend's reviews (13)Well, Assasins creed 2, the follow on to an outstanding game. This takes everthing that was good about the first game and improves on it and while their at it removes everthing that made the first one annoying (stupid horse controls for one). AC2 is more ambitious than the first, bigger cities and more targets to remove and more side misssion to boot. Sometimes when a developer adds more to a title, it seems like their just fiddling for something to do, but with this it carries its additions so well it make it a pleasure to find every last collectible and side mission. This is by far the better of the two and its story is way better than the first, epic game!
5 Beyond FantasticPoor01 | 22/01/2011 | See all Poor01's reviews (16)This game goes beyond the first....more to do, side missions and build up all surpass its sibling and ensures your always hunting for something. Whether its altairs armour or glyphs.My only gripe is most missions are pretty impossible to do full on stealth...you`ll know what i mean when you have to assassinate a guy on a boat during mardi gras. its just not possible and thats sort of the point....to be able to slip in, kill someone and slip out. rather than run in, smash up a few guards, kill the target, smash up a few more guards then run off and hide lol.Thats just me being picky as i never stopped enjoying this game. might help to play the first one first tho :o)
5 Far Better than the Original.ErikTheHorse | 02/10/2010 | See all ErikTheHorse's reviews (1)The first Assassins Creed, as you may know, Got somewhat Mixed responses. I personally thought it was brilliant, but this blew it right out of the water! They kept (and improved) all the good bits, like the truly awesome Combat, and removed most of the bad. Except the annoying collectibles. There's a lot less of them, only 144 or something, rather than a few million Flags. They've added Character development, and a semi-meaningful storyline. But face it, a True story just gets in the way.Well Done Ubisoft, and thank you for such an awesome game!
5 AmazingInterested | 27/12/2010 | See all Interested's reviews (7)I cannot stress how much better this game is than the first. Every flaw, every criticism, every nook and cranny...sorted in AC2.Story is gripping, combat and stealth is top notch, and the freedom of parkour is exquisite.A shame there is no multiplayer, but there is no need. there is enough content in here to make you want to collect every feather, discover every secret, and explore every building.

France condemns the bloody violence in Egypt in the strongest possible terms, and calls for an immediate halt to the crackdown. Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius is taking this matter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and to our principal partners so that an international position may be urgently adopted to that effect.
The current situation will not be resolved by force. France calls on all the parties to reject spiraling clashes and to immediately begin a dialogue that includes all Egyptian political forces in order to find a democratic solution to this grave crisis. France reaffirms its immediate readiness to foster this dialogue.
France utterly deplores the violence which occurred in Cairo during the crowd-clearance operations. It extends its condolences to the bereaved. It is essential for this violence to stop and for calm to prevail. France calls on the parties to show the utmost restraint and cautions against disproportionate use of force.
As Foreign Minister M. Laurent Fabius highlighted a few days ago to the Egyptian authorities and his interlocutors in the region, the crisis can be resolved only through a peaceful solution, which requires everyone to give priority to dialogue and the quest for a compromise.

"Fantastic Plugin and and works great with OS X..."
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This is a fantastic plugin! I am a heavy user of Address Book and this piece of software is a massive time saver. I realize some people may find $10 a little high for what this does but I would suggest they are not the targeted audience for this. If you make frequent use of Address Book then this plugin is for you. It couldn't get any easier. Works great with Leopard.

I am a stay at home mom. I have two wonderful children that I love so much. I enjoy being at home with them, but I'm needing something more. I want to go to school to be a nurse, and I'm working on it, but it's going to take time. The Lord has put a project on my heart that I'm trying to work on, but I keep getting distracted. It really seems like the harder I try to focus on Jesus and do what he is calling me to do, the more difficult it is to stay there. I guess, I just need some encouragement.

It is high summer, and we hope you are taking time to slow down, savour the abundance of the season and put aside the busy-ness of life for a while. This week at Ideas for Impact, we are pondering some big questions regarding the traditional concept of economy and consumption. What does it really mean to create an alternative economy? Is it actually possible? Is it possible to have the individual and community at the core instead of corporate interests? Are we in fact able to share instead of possess? To be small instead of gigantic? To be slow instead of fast?
These are the questions that shape our focus this week, as we explore some examples of a growing number of models (from marketplaces to peer-to-peer travel to community supported agriculture to micro-lending) that are changing the way individuals interact with the economy. These new forms of community-based social practices are disrupting the traditional ways of business and changing the way we think about ownership, consumption, and what it means to be wealthy.
While seemingly small compared to the sheer size of the formal economy, corporate players, and the 'business as usual' mentality, we think these small, slow and shared pockets of change are not only innovative but in fact creating significant social and economic impact. And guess what, they are popping up all over the world at an increasing rate. Change is in the air all around us! Perhaps some of that change will pave a road to a new possible future for our societies. Here are three stories that show how small innovations are making a difference.
We're Richer Than We Think: The Sharing Economy
In a time of news of imminent economic collapse and 'double dip recessions', there is a movement afoot that is instead celebrating abundance, looking at growth and economic opportunities from a different perspective. This phenomenon is being called the 'sharing economy' or 'collaborative consumption', that is, the reinvention of 'old market' behaviours – renting, lending, swapping, gifting, bartering – through technology that enables new markets for the sharing of products and services between individuals.
The idea is really as old as sharing itself, but it is picking up a lot of energy for a number of interacting reasons. The financial crisis has prompted us to be more thrifty, the environmental crisis to be less wasteful and destructive, and the generalized feeling of cultural disconnection (as we discussed in our last issue), has shown us the imperative of sharing and giving as a means to connect and thrive in our society.
Facilitated by new networking technologies and platforms, people are now sharing all kinds of things – food, tools, gadgets, couches, homes, cars, workspaces, time, money. According to Rachel Botsman, co-author of What's Mine is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption, what this means is that we are richer than we think: "We are surrounded by assets that have 'idling capacity' – the untapped social and economic value of under-utilised spaces, skills, time, gardens, and 'stuff'."
The scale of sharing activities is prompting some commentators to claim that our 'culture of ownership' is unraveling. In addition to the important positive environmental impact, this shift in consumption empowers individuals to access more while owning less, and enables a strengthened sense of community, as trust relationships are tested and built through personal interactions (even if it is with a stranger).
The potential of tapping into this capacity is quite staggering, as this video portrays:
One example of this new sharing phenomenon is Freecyle.org. What began in Tucson, Arizona in 2004 as a local email group to find new homes for unused and unwanted items, is now an online global sharing platform that has spread to over 85 countries.
According to the Freecycle.org website, the Freecycle network is made up of 5,056 groups moderated by local volunteers with 9,016,241 members around the world. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free. The Freecycle Network is doing its best to avoid a Wall-E like future around the globe.

Fresh in the Net – Skipper Otto's Community Supported Fishery
When Otto Strobel, a retired high school teacher and life-time fisher, heard of the concept of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) from his daughter-in-law, Sonia, they knew they were on to something. After 40 years on the water, Otto Strobel and his son Shaun were struggling to carry on in the industry. Community supported agriculture enables producers to have a secure market for what they grow, since consumers buy ahead of time. This arrangement helps farmers have a source of income at their time of highest expenses. For the Strobels, the CSA model presented itself as an innovative way to stay in business that they love, and in the spring of 2008, Skipper Otto's Wild BC Salmon, Canada's first Community Supported Fishery (CSF) was born.
Sonia Strobel identified that the successful and long-established CSA model translated easily to a fishery – both faced the same challenges of large-scale industrialized practices pushing out small and family-based operations, combined with a growing desire from consumers to have access to fresh, high-quality food that is produced (or caught) in a sustainable way.
Shares in Skipper Otto's cost $250. In the summer season, shareholders get a total of 35 pounds of whole 'Oceanwise' sockeye salmon. Or, they can opt for an equivalent value in pink or chum salmon, salmon fillets, or other fish products. With 47 shareholders in their first season, the Strobel family has extended its network to the prairies to satisfy demand for fresh salmon. There are now 500 subscribers across Canada, in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, and Winnipeg.
The success of this model relies on the sense of connection formed between the producer and the consumer. Otto and his family are up-to-speed with the latest social media technology and regularly blog and tweet to their community from the fishing grounds. As Skipper Otto told Open File journalist Meghan Mast, CSF is a win-win for both fishers and customers: There are enough scare stories and sob stories in fishing. People need to hear that they're part of the solution. We like to say, 'You know what? You guys are making this possible. Here's our family, we've been here since the 60s and we're still here. So thank you.'
For those of you who yearn for the sea, visit CSF member Chris Mathieson's flickr set to see photos from his 2011 fishing journey with Skipper Otto. It will make you feel good.
And, if you want a taste of this year's catch yourself, visit the Main Street Farmer's Market every second Wednesday. Sonia Strobel's father, Gordon Tilley, will likely be there to personally introduce you to the catch of the day!
Small is Beautiful: Community Micro Lending
"Small is beautiful because it notices us."
- Anonymous reader comment in The Guardian
Micro-lending was developed as a response to the lack of accessibility of financial tools for the majority of the population in the world's poorest countries, but the idea can be transplanted anywhere. Micro-lending is meant to provide access to financial resources to individual who can't access financial tools from a traditional bank, and transfers the financial power from the financial institution to that of the resident and the community. There's a great example right here in BC. It is called Community Micro-Lending (CML), a non-profit peer-lending society founded in Victoria in 2009.
Like many social innovations, the idea itself is not new, but a recombination or reinvigoration of an old idea in the right time and the right place. CML's Founder and Executive Director Lisa Helps, a student of history and City of Victoria council member, was first inspired by the idea after reading a depression-era Victoria newspaper story of 'neighbours helping neighbours', without relying on government assistance or 'the dole' to trickle down. Lisa Helps envisioned the Community Micro Lending Society as a 21st century citizens' response to similar challenges.
She scanned the micro lending and peer-to-peer lending initiatives around the world with two questions in mind: "What's worked? And, what do we need to do to make this work here?"
The concept has captured a lot of attention in Victoria. As Helps told Focus magazine, "Two years ago we asked neighbours to invest their money in other neighbours, and some people looked at me as if I had two heads." But now she's seen a shift: "the word is out…and people are excited." The model works, similar to other peer-to-peer lending models by matching borrowers with lenders, without a bank as intermediary. Lenders can loan as little as $500 and earn a two percent return on their investment. Lenders choose the entrepreneur, CML pools the money and when the total loan amount is met, it dispenses the loan. Borrowers are charged a fixed monthly interest rate of 10 percent on all loans, which can range from one year to five years. So far, CML has dispensed twelve loans, and as Helps says, "the good news is that all our entrepreneurs (except one who is a little behind) are repaying their loans on time."
For Helps, however, the goal of Community Micro Lending is to provide more than just money, it is about building a community. Financial resources are important but the 'know-how' support is invaluable. Loan recipients are matched with a team of three mentors from the business community who can provide guidance as someone who's 'already been there'. The CML's community of borrowers meets once a month with their mentors to share ideas, troubleshoot, and 'workshop' issues or challenges that they may be faced with. In this way, lenders know that their risk is being managed. The CML team and its energetic community of borrowers, mentors and lenders, are excited about the possibilities. "Helps says, "Local investment by local people in local people changes everything. It connects people right here." And as the CML website states, its goal is to ensure that "everyone involved has an opportunity to sparkle".
To see examples of how CML works in action, watch this excellent video from Victoria's local news station, profiling CML and its first loan recipient.

Shakti Dance from Vancouver presents a performance of Five Faces next Saturday, April 26 at 7 p.m. at the Heritage Playhouse in Gibsons.
The performance is a montage of five unique Bharata Natyam dance performances by Anusha Fernando and Sujit Vaidya, written and narrated by Anusha Fernando, with visual art by Sue Leibik.
This feast for the senses includes dance, South Indian classical music, visual art and poetry. By exploring the mythology and songs that underpin Bharata Natyam's dance repertoire, this unique presentation of solo and duet work highlights Bharata Natyam`s contemporary relevance.
Bharata Natyam Indian classical dance is one of the most ancient forms of sacred dance and a highly evolved mind-body practice. It was originally performed by women, called Devadasis, who danced as an offering to god in the temples of South India.
In its recent history, Bharata Natyam has moved from the temple onto the concert stage and is practiced and performed all over the world. Despite its evolution, the temple roots of this form run deep. The traditional repertoire focuses on spiritual themes like the experience of suffering and the potential for liberation. This cherished dance form of India is characterized by humility, discipline and rigorous technique.
Shakti Dance Society was formed in Vancouver in 2004 to promote Bharata Natyam through performance and training with an emphasis on innovation within tradition.
Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students, senior and arts workers available at Gaia's Fair Trade in Gibsons.

Christine Gregoire's campaign is now on its second radio ad, which can be found buried on her campaign blog in a July 7th entry (hint to the campaign staff: permalinks are a beautiful thing in the blogosphere). Much as with the first ad, more time is spent attacking Dino Rossi than anything else.
What happened when the Evergreen Freedom Foundation decided to request the public government records of the negotiations between unions and government in Washington State? All hell broke loose, that's what.
The bloated public employee unions banded together to stop the public from finding out what went on between the government and the unions during the negotiations of state contracts -- that is contracts FUNDED by tax money, by the way -- for employee benefits and rules. They filed suit saying that the public had no right to know how their own tax money was to be spent.
One union official even said that if he thought his words would become public record he would "not be comfortable speaking" until he had "fully thought through" what he had to say. Of course, this forces one to wonder why he would open his yap without thinking about what he is saying whether his yammering would be public knowledge or not?
Yes, the Unions fought the EFF tooth and nail to keep their negotiations secret from the very public that is paying their bills.
Check out the whole outrageous story at Capital Research Center's "When unions negotiate with governments" and download the PDF report. Its a great read and a cautionary tale that supports our contention here on the Union Label Blog that unions are antithetical to good government.
Be sure and Visit my Home blog Publius' Forum. It's what's happening NOW!
Eric Earling has been on the WA-GOV's race like white on rice. This is our best opportunity to elect a Republican all-star in a pickup this cycle, and we need to help Dino Rossi. -Patrick
Interesting developments in Republican Dino Rossi's repeat contest against now sitting Democratic Governor Christine Gregoire:
1) Democrats Are The Ones Taking Heat in the Press for Ethnic Slurs
The State Democratic Party managed to secure itself some widespread, off-message PR for its web video attack on Italian-American Dino Rossi, set to the tune of the Sopranos. Though the party changed the tune accompanying the video, the state's largest newspaper, the Seattle Times, weighed in with a Sunday editorial chiding both the deed and the lack of contrition. Thus, on the heels of Democrats complaining about building industry funded ads against Gregoire, Rossi is the one who comes out looking aggrieved.
2) Headlines Implying Corruption Aren't Directed at the Republican
Democrat Governor Christine Gregoire won the governorship of Washington State in 2004 under a cloud of suspicion and possible voter fraud. The election was very close and after a recount Gregoire's Republican rival still had the win. But, the Democrats weren't happy with the recount. They wanted a second and calls went out for giant donations to get it done.
To steal the governorship Gregoire's biggest donors were unions. Teachers unions and labor unions donated big money. Once the miraculous second recount suddenly showed that the Democrats had won (by 129 votes), Gregoire settled into office.
And then the payback began with unions making out like fat cats.
The defense employed by Washington Governor Christine Gregoire and her allies in defending her actions regarding a gaming compact with the state's Native American tribes has been to say the goal was to stop a massive expansion of tribal gaming. The facts don't indicate that actually occurred.
[Gregoire spokesman Pearse Edwards] said she had renegotiated the 2005 agreement that included revenue sharing in an attempt to keep gambling from expanding too quickly and after listening to concerns from a wide range of groups, including other tribes.
Likewise, Democratic spokesman Kelly Steele's recent appearance on Seattle talk radio station KVI's "The Commentators" show was replete with references to Gregoire not wanting to turn the Evergreen State into Nevada.
One might chuckle at the notion of Sin City coming north to the meet the nanny state favored by many elected officials in Seattle and Olympia, yet gaming itself continues to expand significantly since the compact was negotiated.
Tthe other hot race to watch this year in Washington state, besides Dino Rossi's bid to win a rematch of his 2004 battle, is Dave Reichert's re-election bid for Congress.
Rep. Reichert was a major Democratic target in the '06 cycle, running as a first time incumbent in a district (the 8th) carried by John Kerry in '04 and increasingly carried by statewide Democratic candidates as well. He edged out a win over former Microsofite Darcy Burner by 2%, overcoming her surprisingly strong fundraising and rabid netroots support with his experience serving the district in Congress and as King County Sheriff.
Reichert is out to an early lead in a repeat of the 2006 contest. Burner has been running almost constantly since that time, raising money at a fierce clip and overtaking Reichert on that score. Yet, SurveyUSA pegs him with a 51% - 45% advantage.
The lede starts out rough:
OLYMPIA -- Gov. Chris Gregoire is benefiting from more than $650,000 in campaign contributions from Indian tribes that hit the jackpot in 2005 when she killed a gambling compact potentially worth more than $140 million a year to the state. Unlike 22 other states that collect millions from revenue sharing agreements for tribal gambling, Washington gets no money from tribal casinos under the compact that Gregoire renegotiated with the Spokane Tribe.

Unlike 22 other states that collect millions from revenue sharing agreements for tribal gambling, Washington gets no money from tribal casinos under the compact that Gregoire renegotiated with the Spokane Tribe.
There is little good that can come of that in Washington stat that seems to have a hypersensitivity to even the appearance of conflict of interest. And its not just the appearance:
"It's a payoff," said University of Nevada-Las Vegas professor William Thompson, who has been studying tribal gambling since 1988. "She shouldn't take any campaign money, nor should her political party, and it smells too quid pro quo for my liking."
"Why would you give someone a monopoly without taking a cut?" asked Sen. Ken Jacobsen, D-Seattle. [snip] But Jacobsen, the Seattle state senator, said there wasn't enough transparency. "By the time anybody in the Legislature heard about it, it was a done deal. There are a lot of people, Democrats and Republicans, who were a little bit grumpy about that because, God, that's a lot of money we gave them without getting anything back." Asked if there should there be a firewall between groups that negotiate with elected leaders, Jacobsen said: "When you start talking money, people are getting tempted," adding that even if there isn't outright corruption, it looks bad.
Yes, it does look bad. The local transparency-minded media loathes to see such appearances of back room dealing. And this is most definitely not the last the body politic has heard of this issue in the Evergreen State before November.

I wrote this up because I've seen a fair number of odd arguments about drilling from the rightosphere. It was in response to a statement: "But we'll just ship all the new oil off to China! So drilling is pointless!"
What happens if we double US output, and every single drop was shipped to China? Stop reading me, and really think about it. The normal law of supply and demand - for normal things that you don't need (baseball caps, say) - is that when you draw a plot of "Price vs. Quantity". Wikipedia has a plot here: Supply and Demand Plot.
The 'free market price' is the intersection of S (Supply line) & D1 (Demand line) - it is (P1,Q1) initially. Any increase in demand is like moving the line D1 to the line D2. The 'free market price' moves along the curve to (P2,Q2). We'd be paying more, and consuming more. An increase in Supply moves the Supply Line. Imagine the S line being scooted down. Prices drop, and the intersection will be a little farther along the Q axis, so we'll be consuming more.
Now oil isn't baseball caps. We have a strong desire for oil, and we aren't too flexible about our usage. (We might knock off roadtrips completely, but fewer people will stop driving to work, etc.) This just means that the 'Demand Curve' is steep.
The Supply Curve is also steep - at-the-pump prices in the US have gone from $1.50 to $4 without any appreciable American drilling.
Now: An increase in Supply - even if it's going to someone else! - shifts the entire Supply curve. Even if China was able to consume all of the oil themselves, they would be changing their impact on the market. They stop pressuring Indonesia perhaps. Or relax export restrictions to Russia. Who knows. But any change in Supply causes the market to readjust - and the net effect would be the same as with baseballs: an increase in quantity, a drop in price.
We already know what the demand curve is going to be doing going forward. Both India and China moving into the middle-class and being able to afford personal vehicles pretty much swamps any discussion on that question.
Alternative fuels also affect supply, and alternative energy also affects supply. There's nothing wrong with investing in either. But these are NOT mutually exclusive options. We're in a hole that's big enough for us to jump on the nuke bandwagon, _and_ the solar/wind bandwagon, and the biofuels bandwagon, and still have plenty of demand to jump with both feet on Drill here, Drill Now, Pay less.
Promoted and bumped. -Patrick
The candidates for Governor in Washington released their May fundraising numbers today, showing yet another indicator of the competitive nature of this race.
Christine Gregoire's numbers came down from outstanding to merely good after her post-legislative session fundraising freeze month in April (incumbent Washington state elected officials are restricted from accepting contributions during the legislative session). Cash receipts in May were $779,176, down from $1.3 million the month prior. Her campaign reports $4.162 million in cash-on-hand through May 31st (source).
Dino Rossi's fundraising continued its steady pace, raising $690,169 in cash contributions in May, slightly above his $652,181 average for the previous six full months he has been raising money. His campaign reports $3.439 million in cash-on-hand through the end of May.
This is a very creative use of gas prices as an issue. A legislative candidate in a semi-rural, small-town district that's dominated by blue collar Democrats listed his party as No Gas Tax (GOP) which means that on the ballot, voters will see:
Randy Neatherlin, Prefers No Gas Tax (GOP) Party
As of this year, Washington State allows candidates to list any party name within a set character limit on the ballot, and displays it as Prefers _____ Party. The top two vote getters regardless of party move onto the general. No runoff.
This race is pretty far down on the ballot and is going to be overshadowed by a very cluttered state political environment so most voters won't know much about any of the candidates. It'll be an interesting experiment to see how he does, I suspect he'll perform a lot better than he would have otherwise.
This isn't a professional candidate we're talking about here. He hasn't raised all that much money, is facing a primary challenge and won't have much else going for him beyond ballot title. He's also had some oppo worthy issues in the past, but a lot of the time it's guys like that who pull ballsy moves before they go mainstream.
Update: This isn't directly related togas prices, but Washington's candidate for governor Dino Rossi just filed as "Prefers G.O.P. Party." I like that a lot, good sign his folks are willing to go outside the regular playbook.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Posted By: NZ Deb (O+)Date: Wednesday, 27 January 1999, at 8:30 p.m.
Greetings all,
I haven't been visiting the board lately, tho I have been keeping up with you all from the digests. In my absence (since Xmas) I see another O+ 40 yr old Deb has been visiting & a couple of Deborahs. So to distinguish myself, I thought I'd use "NZ Deb" from now on.
I always used to love marinated fish in coconut milk, but no coconut milk for me now. I tried just marinating fish in lemon juice and adding it to salads, but it wasn't that nice. So I had this idea that grinding up almonds and blending them with plain rice milk might work. It had a different flavour, but was yummy.
For 4 people I used about 600-700gms cod (other allowed fish would be fine), marinated it in the juice of about 5-6 lemons for 24 hours. Ground up 48 almonds, then blended with a small container of rice milk. Drained the fish, added the milk and a chopped up red onion. Then add a big pile of chopped up salad veges, and there's dinner!
For zoners, this gives about 4P, 4F & 1C each before adding salad veges. For people who can't take the rice milk, blending up the almonds with water would probably still work.
I gather people are having trouble with the recipe exchange, so thought I'd post this here instead. Haven't checked whether this suits other types.
Best wishes, Deb.

I want some better female nudity!
first, kong has to be PG-13, so adding more graphic genitals would definitely tick off parents if they see their kids playing a game with a bunch of random naked people. second, this is an rpg game, not some playboy magazine. third, if you want female nudity, the devs are probably going to add male nudity as well, and i'm sure you wouldn't want that.
The internet has enough nudity on it. You want great looking girls in a game? Go play a Korean MMO.
Like what?
Better sexist morons through gaming.

As of Friday, June 1, 2012
© Copyright 2015
Albany Herald
PARIS — American teen Sloane Stephens and Maria Sharapova advanced on Friday, while Ana Ivanovic lost in the third round of the French Open.
Stephens reached the fourth round by beating Mathilde Johansson of France 6-3, 6-2. Of the eight teenagers in this year's draw, the 19-year-old Stephens was the only one to even reach the third round.
"I'm excited because now I'm going to have more Twitter followers," Stephens said.
The second-seeded Sharapova defeated Ayumi Morita of Japan 6-1, 6-1 in a match postponed a day by the marathon contest between American John Isner and Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu.
Sharapova has won three major titles in her career, but she still needs to win at Roland Garros to complete a career Grand Slam.
Ivanovic fell to Sara Errani of Italy 1-6, 7-5, 6-3.
The 13th-seeded Ivanovic, a former top-ranked player who won the French Open title in 2008, committed 37 of her 40 unforced errors in the final two sets. Errani had only 18.
"In the third set I was creating a lot of opportunities and missing a lot of easy, easy finishing balls," Ivanovic said. "That's something that I'm not really happy about."
Sixth-seeded Sam Stosur, the 2010 runner-up, defeated Nadia Petrova 6-3, 6-3.
Two days after eliminating Venus Williams from the French Open, third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska was routed by 2009 champion Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-1, 6-2.
She didn't look anything like the player who overwhelmed seven-time Grand Slam champion Williams in straight sets on Wednesday.
Radwanska has been having a stellar year on tour, winning three titles and moving up to a career-high No. 3 ranking last month. But she is the only player in the top 10 that has never reached a Grand Slam semifinal.
Radwanska dropped to 3-10 against the Russian, including her only two losses in tournament finals.
"It's always disappointing when losing in the first week of a Grand Slam, that's for sure," Radwanska said. "Today I didn't play bad, she was just playing unbelievable."
Before Friday's match, Radwanska had been 38-7 in 2012, with six of those losses coming against top-ranked Victoria Azarenka.
Kuznetsova, who also won the U.S. Open in 2004, has struggled since winning the title at Roland Garros three years ago, only reaching one Grand Slam quarterfinal.
For the men, No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France and No. 7 Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic reached the third round.
Rafael Nadal has made a habit of celebrating at Roland Garros, and it's not just because his June 3 birthday falls during the French Open.
This year, he is so focused on winning a record seventh French Open that he couldn't even remember exactly when he will turn 26.
"When is my birthday?" Nadal said Thursday after being asked if he had anything special planned. "I don't know the day."
When you play like Nadal on clay, the only date to remember is the day of the French Open final.
This year, that's exactly a week after his birthday.
"Difficult to celebrate … when you are in the middle of the tournament, but sure, I'm going to go for dinner with the team," Nadal said. "I don't know if some family going to come. I don't know yet."
The second-seeded Nadal improved his French Open record to 47-1 on Thursday after beating Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan 6-2, 6-2, 6-0. If he wins five more matches, he will break the record of six French Open titles he shares with Bjorn Borg.
Nadal wasn't the only record-breaker on court Thursday. Isner, who won the longest match in tennis history two years ago at Wimbledon, lost 18-16 in the fifth set of another marathon match.
Also, Andy Murray overcame back spasms to reach the third round, while fourth-seeded Petra Kvitova advanced in straight sets.

Adams County deputy Jose Guadalupe Luna arrested on DUI charge in Thornton
THORNTON, Colo. - Officers arrested an Adams County sheriff's deputy last month on suspicion of driving while intoxicated after he drove into a median, hit two trees and got stuck, according to Thornton police.
Police spokesman Matt Barnes told 7NEWS the preliminary investigation indicated that Jose Guadalupe Luna, 39, attempted to make a left turn from Lafayette Street, where no left turn is allowed, onto eastbound 120th Avenue.
Luna went into the median, hit two trees and got his vehicle high-centered on one of the trees, Barnes said.
Luna was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, DUI per se and careless driving. DUI per se means the breathalyzer test or blood test at the time of arrest recorded the suspect's blood alcohol count to be above the legal limit of 0.08.
The incident happened just before midnight on March 28. The information about his arrest was released Monday after 7NEWS called to follow up on a news tip.
Luna lives 1.3 miles from the place where he was arrested.
Luna has served as a patrol deputy for 13 years. He has been transferred to the jail division, so he is not driving a work vehicle during the investigation.

About Our Press
Our Press!
Cider's been made our way — called the rack and cloth method — for hundreds of years. Visitors love to watch our 1920-vintage press in action. Here's how it works:
We get in a whole bunch of apples (last year we used 7.5 million pounds), inspect 'em and wash 'em one last time. Then, up the elevator they go to a high-speed grinder where the apples become a mash called pomace, with all the parts — seeds, stems, skins, everything. A powerful screw pump pushes the pomace through a tube onto a heavy-duty cheesecloth on the press cart.
The cloth gets folded over, like a burrito, and we lay a rack on top. We repeat this 18 times, creating a sort of apple-mash wedding cake. Then a hydraulic piston applies 2,500 pounds-per-square inch of pressure. This squashes out every last precious drop of the apple nectar, leaving nothin' but a dried-up, doormat-like leftover.
What happens to the squeeze-out pomace? Well, local farmers pick it up most of it for livestock feed. What they don't take goes into a big compost pile. It's full of nutrients for Vermont gardens — so every last bit of the cider-making process has a use.
As for our old press, we like it so much that in 2000 we bought a second old press, from a nice couple in Wisconsin who were getting out of the cider business. Not us! The demand for Cold Hollow Cider, with its vibrant taste of New England apples, just keeps growing.
Our Method: It's All About the Apples
It takes great apples to make great apple cider — and we've got great apples, up our way. We blend about 80 percent Macintosh with Cortland, Empire, Delicious, Rome, Spartan, Niagra, and others from fine Champlain Valley orchards. There's something about the soil and climate of this region that gives Macs, in particular, that "snap" that is the distinctive taste of Cold Hollow Cider.
We only use tree-picked, hand-selected fruit. It comes to us in 20-bushel (800 pound) bins — and in the autumn we can go through two tractor-trailer loads per day. We inspect them, bin by bin. Orchardists love to sell to us, because we buy year-round. But they know they've got to meet our standards, or the apples go back.
To learn how our rack and cloth presses work, see the next section of the dropdown menu called "About our Press". Each of our two presses can produce up to 500 gallons per hour — the "fruit" of 5,000 pounds of chopped-up apples.
To make absolutely sure it's safe to enjoy, we next put our cider through a "flash" pasteurization. We heat it very rapidly to 172 degrees, then quickly cool it back to 36 degrees. This pasteurizes our cider without affecting the taste.
We pump the finished cider into one of several refrigerated bulk tanks. We've got tanks that range in size from 800 gallons to a 10,000-gallon silo! The cold, fresh cider next goes into our bottling plant — then we put it on our shelves, and ship it straight to the stores and our customers
