Snowstorm does not disrupt life for Cougar Mountain Zoo denizens
January 24, 2012
The macaws retreated inside to toastier temperatures. The tigers tolerated the cold. The reindeer, unsurprisingly, reveled in the snow.
Though most Issaquah residents experienced a snow day Jan. 18, a major snowstorm did not disrupt the routine for the denizens of Cougar Mountain Zoo.
"The animals don't care that it's snowing outside and we don't want to get out of bed," General Curator Robyn Barfoot said. "They need us and that is our driving force."
The rare Bengal tigers Almos, Bagheera, Taj and Vitez lounge in heated enclosures if the mercury falls. Some species — such as colorful macaws and other birds from tropical climates — spend cold days inside and off display. Other animals carouse in the cold temperatures and deep snow.

Snowstorm does not disrupt life for Cougar Mountain Zoo denizens
January 18, 2012
NEW — 8 p.m. Jan. 18, 2012
The macaws retreat inside to toastier temperatures. The tigers tolerate the cold. The reindeer, unsurprisingly, revel in the snow.
Though most Issaquah residents experienced a snow day Wednesday, a major snowstorm did not disrupt the routine for the denizens of Cougar Mountain Zoo.
Rogue the reindeer is ready to take the reins
December 20, 2011
He may be only 5 months old, but he already weighs 84 pounds and is about three and half feet tall at his shoulders.
Especially as this is the holiday time of year, he has made numerous personal appearances at Christmas tree lightings and similar events, said Robyn Barfoot, general curator of the Cougar Mountain Zoological Park.
The toddler in question, however, probably is not going to be caught sitting on Santa's lap.
Instead, Rogue the reindeer already is harness trained and ready to help pull Santa's sleigh, Barfoot said.
"Santa likes to refer to him as 'Blitzen,'" Barfoot added.
Rogue even already has his own Christmas song. The private Cougar Mountain Academy is near the zoo. Teachers and children there have come up with a version of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" using Rogue's name, Barfoot said.
American Kennel Club judge is suspect in 'animal hoarding' case
December 6, 2011
The suspect in a case investigators described as "animal hoarding" is a judge for the American Kennel Club, a prestigious registry of purebred dogs.
Pasado's Safe Haven, a nonprofit animal rescue organization in Seattle, released the information Nov. 30, as the investigation continues into dogs discovered living in filthy conditions in Issaquah and Burien homes.
King County animal control officers seized 62 dogs from a Cougar Mountain home in Issaquah and 38 more from a Burien home in early October.
Cougar Mountain Zoo hosts 23rd annual Issaquah Reindeer Festival
November 29, 2011
First held in 1988, the annual Issaquah Reindeer Festival runs Dec. 1-23 at the Cougar Mountain Zoo.
Zoo General Curator Robyn Barfoot said the event regularly attracts up to 10,000 visitors. Some travel relatively long distances to make it to the festival, even coming from well east of the Cascades.
"It's a family tradition for many people," Barfoot said.
Although the zoo is technically closed for the season, 10 of Santa's reindeer team will be ready and awaiting visitors daily.
At the Magic Forest, visitors can hand feed the South American reindeer. And among numerous other activities, kids and parents also can visit Santa in his house and get a picture with the jolly old elf.
Visitors can also listen to stories read by an elf, see Santa's sleigh, shop and pick up hot drinks and snacks. The younger set also can write a letter to Santa and then place it in his personal mailbox.
The festival runs from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. Santa will take a lunch break roughly from 1-1:30 p.m. daily. Pictures with Santa are $15 for the first shot and $10 for additional shots. You can take your own pictures for a fee.
Issaquah businesses target tourists for attractions, events
October 25, 2011
Issaquah leaders often describe local qualities as treasures — a quaint downtown, mountain panoramas, historic buildings and more.
Local businesspeople describe such attractions as "tourism assets" all set for out-of-town guests to enjoy and, in the process, spend dollars in hotels and restaurants.
Issaquah Chamber of Commerce officials gathered representatives from local "tourism assets" Oct. 18 to discuss successes and opportunities to lure more tourists to the area.
Leaders from artEAST, Cougar Mountain Zoo, Village Theatre, and other Issaquah attractions and events, said attendance is strong, but sometimes people overlook local offerings.
"Tastin' N Racin' — unfortunately — is Issaquah's best-kept secret," event organizer Craig Cooke said. "Nationally, it's not. There are events in 13 other states that have all called and patterned their event on what goes on on land and what goes on in water."
Tastin' N Racin' attracts 20,000 people — and sometimes up to 50,000 — to Lake Sammamish State Park each June for hydroplane races and onshore offerings.
Other long-established attractions face a similar challenge in luring potential tourists.
Cruise passengers urged to explore beyond Seattle
October 25, 2011
From the Space Needle to Pike Place Market, Seattle has plenty to offer its guests, but the Washington Tourism Alliance and the Port of Seattle are encouraging cruise ship tourists to explore beyond the predictable city limits. They are hoping tourists will venture into the suburban and rural areas outside of Seattle, including Issaquah.
"It's really about what can you offer as an attractive package as an add-on to the cruise purchase," said Dan Trimble, then-economic development manager for the city of Issaquah. "We're pretty fortunate here to have several things that can be easily compartmentalized to those packages."
From the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery and Cougar Mountain Zoo, to outdoor opportunities and shopping districts, Issaquah has plenty to offer its tourists, Trimble said.
This is part of a plan carried out by the newly established Washington Tourism Alliance, which is working along with the Port of Seattle and other tourism agencies to let people know about the tourist opportunities that exist outside of Seattle.
"The cruise ship (industry) brings about $400 million to King County and the region, and that's because the passengers are staying one to two nights in the area. But most of them are spending that time in downtown Seattle," Seattle Port Commissioner Bill Bryant said.
He said he hopes the cruise ship tourists extend their stay and explore the surrounding areas, "whether that is wineries in Woodinville or going out to Snoqualmie Falls."
The state Legislature recently cut funding for the state tourism office.
In its place, various stakeholders including the port, some of the hotel associations and some of the restaurant associations have established the WTA to serve as a vehicle for communities to reach out to tourists, Bryant said.
Police seize 62 dogs from home in 'animal hoarding' case
October 11, 2011
King County animal control officers seized 62 dogs from a Cougar Mountain home in Issaquah — and 38 more from a Burien home — Oct. 6 in a case investigators described as "animal hoarding."
In a raid on the Burien house, King County Sheriff's Office deputies and Regional Animal Services of King County officers discovered 38 ill Chihuahua, Japanese Chin and Pomeranian dogs in dirty crates. Then, investigators searched a house in the 5900 block of 189th Avenue Southeast on Cougar Mountain, about a mile south of Cougar Mountain Zoo.
Veterinarians later euthanized nine dogs from the Burien house due to poor health. The day after the raids, veterinarians euthanized another dog due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Investigators said the animals from the Issaquah house appeared to be in good health and housed in clean crates, although the condition of the house prompted animal control officers to take the dogs into custody.
Cougar cub is recovering after surgery to correct birth defect
August 23, 2011
After undergoing surgery at a clinic in Kirkland, Issaquah's Tasha, a 3-month-old baby cougar, is back home at the Cougar Mountain Zoo and, according to zoo General Curator Robyn Barfoot, is doing very well.
Tasha underwent surgery Aug. 17 to repair a congenital defect that was preventing her from eating solid foods.
"She's running around and purring," Barfoot said just two days after the surgery. "Actually, she's purring an awful lot … She doesn't seem fazed by any of this at all."
Veterinarian Michael Mison led Tasha's surgery at Seattle Veterinary Specialists.
"There were no complications during surgery," Mison said. "I'm happy to report that Tasha is recovering nicely. We expect her to have a long and healthy life."
SVS veterinarians diagnosed Tasha with what's termed a vascular ring anomaly or defect on Aug. 10. Barfoot said keepers had noticed Tasha wasn't keeping down much food, but at first attributed her vomiting to rough play. Normally, Tasha lives with two other cougar cubs. When Tasha's problem persisted, Barfoot said zoo officials took her for tests at SVS where vets diagnosed the vascular defect.
According to information released by the clinic, vascular ring anomalies form before an animal is born when embryonic blood vessels develop abnormally.

Welcome to FTF. Nice selection of guns. Maybe a garand next?
I don't need No stinking signature.
Guess sense your in the revolver section you want a revolver. Keep and eye open for a old Dan Wesson revolver made in monson mass with a removeable barrels. 15-2 are the 357 and other model of the small frame . The large frame is LARGE. Prices are good and accuracy is above most any others even when 35 years old and ugly. You can change barrels in just a couple minutes for deferent needs.
How about a Ruger black hawk 44 mag.
I think you need something in .22LR. May I suggest you go buy a TacSol dedicated .22LR slide/barrel for your G22. Fun & cheap practice. I have one and love it.
Get a wheel gun. I assume you already own a shotgun.
Criminals advocate stronger gun laws to foster a safer work environment. This limits their exposure to risk.
Thanks everybody. I think I am leaning toward a 22 because they are cheap to shoot plus I don't have one. I just got a Remington 700 30-06 and can't wait to try it out. Putting a scope on it this week. So it will be a little while before I can afford another gun .
Colt Python. b The best of the best.

The thoracic cavity (or chest cavity) is the chamber of the human body (and other animal bodies) that is protected by the thoracic wall (thoracic cage and associated skin, muscle, and fascia).
The thoracic area includes the tendons as well as the cardiovascular system which could be damaged from injury to the back, spine or the neck.
The human rib cage, also known as the thoracic cage, is a bony and cartilaginous structure which surrounds the thoracic cavity and supports the pectoral girdle, forming a core portion of the human skeleton. A typical human rib cage consists of 24 ribs, the sternum (with Xiphoid process), costal cartilages, and the 12 thoracic vertebrae. It, along with the skin and associated fascia and muscles, makes up the thoracic wall and provides attachments for the muscles of the neck, thorax, upper abdomen, and back.
The human rib cage is a component of the human respiratory system. It encloses the thoracic cavity, which contains the lungs. An inhalation is accomplished when the muscular diaphragm, at the floor of the thoracic cavity, contracts and flattens, while contraction of intercostal muscles lift the rib cage up and out.
The respiratory system (or ventilatory system) is the biological system that introduces respiratory gases to the interior and performs gas exchange. In humans and other mammals, the anatomical features of the respiratory system include airways, lungs, and the respiratory muscles. Molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide are passively exchanged, by diffusion, between the gaseous external environment and the blood. This exchange process occurs in the alveolar region of the lungs. Other animals, such as insects, have respiratory systems with very simple anatomical features, and in amphibians even the skin plays a vital role in gas exchange. Plants also have respiratory systems but the directionality of gas exchange can be opposite to that in animals. The respiratory system in plants also includes anatomical features such as holes on the undersides of leaves known as stomata.
Horses are obligate nasal breathers which means that they are different from many other mammals because they do not have the option of breathing through their mouths and must take in oxygen through their noses.
The thoracic wall (or chest wall) is the boundary of the thoracic cavity.
The bony portion is known as the thoracic cage. However, the wall also includes muscle, skin, and fascia.
The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system, comprising a network of conduits called lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph (from Latin lympha "water goddess") directionally towards the heart. The lymphatic system was first described in the seventeenth century independently by Olaus Rudbeck and Thomas Bartholin. The lymph system is not a closed system. The circulatory system processes an average of 20 litres of blood per day through capillary filtration which removes plasma while leaving the blood cells. Roughly 17 litres of the filtered plasma actually get reabsorbed directly into the blood vessels, while the remaining 3 litres are left behind in the interstitial fluid. The primary function of the lymph system is to provide an accessory route for these excess 3 litres per day to get returned to the blood. Lymph is essentially recycled blood plasma.
Lymphatic organs play an important part in the immune system, having a considerable overlap with the lymphoid system. Lymphoid tissue is found in many organs, particularly the lymph nodes, and in the lymphoid follicles associated with the digestive system such as the tonsils. Lymphoid tissues contain lymphocytes, but they also contain other types of cells for support. The system also includes all the structures dedicated to the circulation and production of lymphocytes (the primary cellular component of lymph), which includes the spleen, thymus, bone marrow, and the lymphoid tissue associated with the digestive system.
In biology, a biological system (or organ system or body system) is a group of organs that work together to perform a certain task. Common systems, such as those present in mammals and other animals, seen in human anatomy, are those such as the circulatory system, the respiratory system, the nervous system, etc.
A group of systems composes an organism, e.g. the human body.
Human anatomy (gr. ἀνατομία, "dissection", from ἀνά, "up", and τέμνειν, "cut") is primarily the scientific study of the morphology of the human body. Anatomy is subdivided into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy. Gross anatomy (also called topographical anatomy, regional anatomy, or anthropotomy) is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by the naked eye. Microscopic anatomy is the study of minute anatomical structures assisted with microscopes, which includes histology (the study of the organization of tissues), and cytology (the study of cells). Anatomy, human physiology (the study of function), and biochemistry (the study of the chemistry of living structures) are complementary basic medical sciences that are generally together (or in tandem) to students studying medical sciences.
In some of its facets human anatomy is closely related to embryology, comparative anatomy and comparative embryology, through common roots in evolution; for example, much of the human body maintains the ancient segmental pattern that is present in all vertebrates with basic units being repeated, which is particularly obvious in the vertebral column and in the ribcage, and can be traced from very early embryos.

lol, thanks for telling me what to do and how to do it.
If I feel like talking about a RT in depth I will do it in a thread that exists that no one cares about. I said I don't want Mathews, that's all I owe this thread.
Real quick though... Derek Newton is arguably the worst RT in the NFL, we have 2 guys currently on the IR that will likely be taking his spot already. Derek Newton was also a 7th round pick. If you draft any RT that has a 4th round grade in the 5th round (happens every draft) I'd be willing to bet you have a dramatic improvement over Newton if you don't want to use one of our guys currently on IR. Now you have 3 guys that can fight over his job and didn't waste our most valuable in pick years.

A shame! Vassalo has ties into the Kenitzer family since well before high school. Vassalo was a graduae from Foothill High in 1997. I truly hope that Kenitzer is found to be a victim as this is way out of character- but not out of character for Vassalo. I can't fathom how or why someone would have trusted Vassalo with sums of money that large. Not a bright and shining day for Pleasanton- not the kind of news story we like to be known for! We are better than this Anthony!

For years certain local persons have been sitting around campfires and dinner tables hoping aloud that AV's windfalls weren't more of his scheming ways. Five years ago is when Mr. K became involved, after AV lost his friends and family's money, and Mr. K thought his involvement might achieve greater grip on the location and tracking of further monies. Regrettably, for the wonderful V and K families, AV's charm and pathology was, in the end, too great. Follow your gut, people. Giving a guy in his late twenties hard cash at the promise of 42% returns/year...? Fortunately for the V family, most of the sordid details will never see the light of public scrutiny. Pray for AVs family and ex-wife and two children, as well as for the wonderful K family.

@pleonasm - I'm sorry, but I think conservation ethos should still apply, even if it interrupts local hunting traditions. If the animal in question goes extinct then that is going to interrupt their ability to hunt even more.
And it is terrible that some other people are the ones responsible, but that doesn't mean they should completely ignore the problem.
What I think should be taken from this is that there need to be solutions for conservation of endangered animals that take into account the traditions and needs of the people who live in the area as well. If they would normally be eating those animals, they need something to replace that in their diet. If hunting is their usual activity then maybe they can replace that with activities that will aid in conservation, like tracking animals or repelling poachers.
People are flexible, usually much more than ecologies are. They just need to be included in the solution.

From Wikipedia
Polypectomy is the medical term for the removal of a polyp. Polypectomy can be performed by excision if the polyp is external (on the skin). Gastrointestinal polyps can be removed endoscopically through colonoscopy or esophagogastroduodenoscopy, or surgically if the polyp is too large to be removed endoscopically.
Contents |
Colonic polypectomy
The method used to perform polypectomies during colonoscopy depends on the size, shape and histological type of the polyp to be removed. Prior to performing polypectomy, polyps can be biopsied and examined histologically to determine the need to perform polypectomy.
Small polyps (less than 5mm)
Small polyps can removed by hot biopsy: biopsy forceps are closed over the polyp, and electric current is passed through the forceps to provide electrocautery. This reduces the chances of bleeding from the polyp base, and improves the chance of complete removal of the polyp by destroying the tissue at the base of the polyp.
Very small polyps (up to 3mm) can be removed by cold biopsy, where biopsy forceps alone are used to remove the polyp, without electrocautery; but risks incomplete removal of the polyp, but reduces the risk of colonic perforation. These polyps may also be removed by fulguration using Argon plasma coagulation to destroy the polyp; the disadvantage of this technique is that no tissue is obtained for histological analysis.
Slightly larger polyps (4-8mm) may be removed by snare cautery (see below).
Larger, sessile polyps
These polyps are more difficult to remove endoscopically, and polypectomy in these cases has a higher risk of complication. Sessile polyps up to 10mm can often be removed by snare polypectomy. Polyps over 10mm may have to be removed piecemeal by snare polypectomy. The use of electrocautery over a large area has a significant risk of causing colonic perforation; to reduce this chance, and to facilitate the polypectomy, sterile fluid (saline or colloid, with methylene blue dye added) can be injected under the base of the polyp to raise it away from the muscular layers of the colon.
Larger, pedunculated polyps
Pedunculated polyps can be removed by snare polypectomy. When the polyp is identified, a polypectomy snare is passed over the polyp and around the stalk of the polyp. The loop of the snare is then tightened to grip the polyp stalk, and the polyp is pulled away from the wall of the colon. An electric current is then passed through the snare loop to cut through the polyp stalk, while providing electrocautery at the same time. The polyp can then be retrieved using the snare, or an endoscopy basket, and removed by withdrawing the colonoscope.
The commonest complications of colonic polypectomy are bleeding and colonic perforation.

Analogic Demonstrates Its Expanded Suite Of Ultrasound Solutions At AIUM 2013 Annual Convention
PEABODY, Mass., April 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Analogic Corporation (Nasdaq:ALOG), enabling the world's medical imaging and aviation security technology, announced that it is showcasing, for the first time in the U.S., its BK Medical Flex Focus™ 500 ultrasound system, the SonixTablet with GPS needle guidance, and the SonixTouch Research systems together at the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) 2013 Annual Convention. The AIUM takes place April 6–10 at the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City, where Analogic will demonstrate its suite of ultrasound imaging solutions in booth #312.
"We are looking forward to meeting our customers and partners at this year's AIUM convention and introducing them to our new family of Analogic Ultrasound solutions," said Farley Peetchaka, senior vice president and general manager, Global Ultrasound Business. "Ultrasonix has been a strong, consistent participant in the research and OEM markets for over 10 years, and we are very pleased to offer an expanded suite of ultrasound solutions, including our dynamic ultrasound research systems complemented by the BK Medical-branded systems, to more effectively address the growing needs of ultrasound imaging worldwide."
The SonixTablet with SonixGPS ultrasound guidance technology is a compact ultrasound system with a large 19" high-resolution touch screen. The system offers features and options designed to make interventional procedures more precise by enabling clinicians to position the transducer in the ideal location for the target and to select a needle angle that is direct and most comfortable for each patient. The SonixTablet also offers a needle enhancement feature called SonixShine that highlights the needle in-plane with the push of a button.
The SonixTouch Research system offers clinicians the ability to acquire large cine loops of clinical data ranging from raw radio frequency (RF) signal in B-mode, color, pulsed wave, 3D/4D modes, or scan-converted data, to either 8 bits or 16 bits of envelope data. In addition, there will be demonstrations of a new credentialing, billing, and ultrasound image management software, which was originally designed for emergency medicine. The software platform is used to collect, store, grade, and report on the studies performed by emergency medicine doctors learning to perform ultrasound exams on patients. To learn more, watch Assistant Professors' Michael C. Kolios, Ph.D., and Jahan Tavakkoli, Ph.D., from Ryerson University discuss their research initiatives using the SonixTouch system: http://www.ultrasonix.com/research/biomedical .

Never heard of Cliburn before reading this article. Life is of growth and learning. What a great obituary. Look forward to listening to his music tonight.
No Hugo Chávez?
He did get two articles earlier in this edition.
Compare Ping Pong and Cliburn's breakthrough on affecting Super Power Geo Politics.
The Chinese and American Teams met in 1971 for the World Ping Pong Championships in Tokyo.
In 1972 The US Team toured China.
And this lead to Nixon's State Visit in 1973.
And a thaw in US-China relations that lead to China's entry into the global economy and world stage.
China's rise today was due in part to Ping Pong.
3 years for the thaw.
Van Cliburn won the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition and Moscow hearts in 1958.
Soviet-US relations remained critical and dangerous: arms race, nuclear race, submarine race, missile race, and space race.
It even pushed the brink of nuclear Armageddon in the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.
Perhaps Mr. Cliburn could have used his influence and prestige more in diplomacy and gap bridging?
Perhaps 1000 Van Cliburn's would not have made a jot of difference in Cold War history.
The Soviet Thaw remained cold until the fall of the Soviet Empire in 1989.
31 years for the thaw.
Moral: Play Ping-Pong not Piano.
Greatest US pianist of the 20th century without doubt. Putting down his artistry is silly; his musicality was superb as was his technique. A good test of a pianist is how he or she does Widmung (Schumann-Liszt). Listen to him and then to others. No comparison.
Agree one hundred percent. He graced the music he played.
guest-inwiasm and saagua,
Allow me to chime in. That's right. His Widmung knows no equal (to me). Even Gilels and Lipatti paled (to me), if that's possible. I can't think of a better phrase than what inwiasm said, "He graced the music he played." In real life, he was gracious and humble.
Van Cliburn was absolutely the greatest concert pianist of the 20th Century. He won every single major piano competition except for one by the time he graduated Juilliard. I was so fortunate to see Van perform in live concert many times the past 40+ years -- and "Widmung" was my favorite encore request. After playing the MacDowell Concerto in Nashville in '97, Van played all three of my encore requests: "Widmung", "Nostalgia"(his own composition) and Chopin's "Revolutionary Etude" - all of which I had asked "IF he would consider playing as encores" after giving him a huge bouquet of roses the day prior to his concert. He played "Widmung" last as I had told him that it was "my very favorite" and raised his hand toward me as he walked off stage and mouthed "for you..." What a sweet gift THAT was! Then, when he spotted me in front row the following year in Huntsville, AL, he played "Widmung" again (he had remembered!) Such a sweet, kind and thoughtful man. Van Cliburn was not only the "gold standard" for classical pianists but also for human beings. I have never met a kinder, more generous, humble and thoughtful artist. Whe he talked to you, he made you feel like you were the only one in the room. I cherish his note to me from his performance in Huntsville. I had the cncert program with his large scrawl preserved so I can pass it down to my daughters one day. RIP, Van. You were a magnificent pianist and a beautiful human being. I will never forget you as long as I live.

Her curiosity grew at the male's grin. She mentally scolded herself for doing something stupid, but that didn't mean he knew the cambion's nature. "I don't like the smile on his face..." Deep down, she wanted to scowl at the male. She wanted to do something to wipe the grin off his face. If Barbatos wasn't good at wearing a mask of innocence, one would see the dark and dangerous look in her eye. Her gaze was glued to Colt, "You must be brothers..." she murmured, softly.
His features were similar to Colt, yet he was different. That was all she could see from this distance, but the main difference was Colt wore an eye patch and this male did not. However, just to stay on the safe side. She will categorize him under family. "or would he be?" she added, her gaze at Colt to see if he would correct her. She will let the dragon tell her. "I don't know a lot of people, but I do see some familiar faces. What about you?"

text: When I had originally started I was actually having trouble at 6.12.GCC-4.0.3. After spending a day trying to figure out what went wrong I decided to start over again.

From his championing of a city lawsuit against Los Van Van concert promoter Debbie Ohanian, or any promoter of "an event that offends one part of the community," to what police officials considered his incitement of Elian protesters to attack officers trying to control crowds, Regalado has shown few qualms about using his influence as a commissioner to stifle voices seen as objectionable in the eyes of el exilio. And just to dispel any hopes he might have moderated his fervor, this past week he called for immediate asylum for accused exile terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, a position that had even hardliners like Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Lincoln Diaz-Balart diving for political cover. One can only shudder at the thought of a Mayor Regalado with expanded powers.
Regalado has been quick to highlight allegations of cronyism on Diaz's part, but he's mentioned little in the way of concrete alternatives. He countered Diaz's state-of-the-city address with nothing more than a vague one-sentence warning about Miami's "growing pains." In fact Regalado's chief complaint against the mayor's office would seem to be that it doesn't have his name on the door or his cronies holding court inside. No doubt Miami's drama-starved reporters are already practicing their chants of Run, Tomas, run!
Blatant media hype just doesn't pay off like it used to. That's the inescapable conclusion to be drawn from the promotional blitz surrounding Dish & Tell: Life, Love, and Secrets, a self-help confessional penned by "The Miami Bombshells" -- six fortysomething female professionals whose high-heeled ranks include former Miami Herald execs Sara Rosenberg and Patricia San Pedro, as well as Today show consultant Tammi Leader Fuller, all of whom were hoping to spark a best-selling phenomenon on the order of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.
As previously reported by New Times ("Bombshell Blowback," June 16), the Herald's publication of no less than seven excerpts from Dish & Tell, not to mention two feature stories and a host of in-house ads plugging the book, had many of that paper's staffers fuming over a perceived ethical conflict, echoing Herald editor Tom Fiedler in wondering "Were we perhaps seduced and manipulated and used?" Or simply asking, "Why are we publishing this absolute drivel?"
Seven weeks since its May 24 release, and despite a New York Times profile by former Herald reporter Mirta Ojito, morning face time on NBC with Katie Couric, and a wealth of in-store appearances, the great bulk of Dish & Tell's first printing of 40,000 appears headed for the remainder table -- or the pulping machines. At press time a scant 3404 copies had been sold, according to Nielsen BookScan, which tracks sales in 70 to 75 percent of the nation's stores, from behemoths Amazon.com, Borders, and Target to local independents like Books & Books. And while Random House still has paperback and Spanish-language versions slated in hopes of recouping the losses, it's doubtful the publisher will be throwing good money after bad in ponying up for a sequel. Don't feel too bad for the Bombshells though. They still get to keep every penny of their reported "low six-figure" advance.

A collection of children's clothing incorporating hand screened, original art onto all garments, helping to keep the arts in schools. Read more
A collection of children's clothing incorporating hand screened, original art onto all garments, helping to keep the arts in schools.
About this project
Neve + Hawk is the first full collection of children's clothing from our little handmade clothing company, Neve Inspired. Born out of the realization that fear needs to be set aside and dreams need to be chased, Neve + Hawk is the next step in our clothing endeavor. While keeping our handmade t-shirt line, we will be adding to those shirts by designing and selling a full line of children's wear that will be made right here in the grand US of A! Our collection will include duds for both little ladies and lads, with a philosophy of keeping things fun and playful as well comfortable and versatile.
When brainstorming the next steps for Neve Inpsired, we were incredibly nervous about not sewing each individual garment ourselves. Art fuels our lives and creating in our home brings us an incredible sense of joy. After pondering many options, we decide to design a line around garments featuring an original "art piece" from our home studio - a hand screened piece of fabric with an original illustration, different on every style. With this, our first collection, Neve + Hawk was born.
Why is it so important for us to incorporate an original artwork onto every garment? Because we believe that art is damn important. In all mediums. In all forms. We want to be around it, create it, get inspired by it and inspire others with it. We want the children wearing the clothing to love the drawings and possibly be inspired by them too. So, we design, we illustrate, we mix paint, we burn screens, we thread machines and we pull ink. (Many times with our 4 year old helping and our 1 year old playing in the room while we work)
Giving Back
We are blessed beyond words to find our pure joy through the arts - much of this attributed through our amazing public schools and the art programs they offered. Because of our passion for the arts and desire for our children to experience the same, Neve + Hawk will donate a portion of our profits to help keep the arts in our public schools. Every child deserves a well rounded education and an outlet for their creativity.
Your Contribution
With the help of Kickstarter and our backers, we will be able to debut Neve + Hawk at Playtime New York in March. We will be able to finish our designs, find incredible fabric, get patterns made, produce our samples and create our marketing. We will be able to turn our dream into a reality and see our garments in stores across the globe.
Playtime New York features 100 brands dedicated to the universe of children, junior and maternity. A unique selection of today's best collections.
Much love to all our friends and family who have supported us this past year. And, a HUGE shout of thanks goes to a few special people that helped us get this kickstarter project launched. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I have heard of recent studies linking Aluminum to alzheimer's desease (which is probably mad cow related, SBE)... So, basically eating anything out of a can or wrapped in Aluminum foil = certain death.
Does that include canned beer?
Alzhimers patients brains have been found to contain higher levels of aluminum. BUT the link between aluminium and Alzhimers has yet to be proven.Aluminium & Alzheimer's
Levels of aluminum can be traced to a lot of sources besides food. Check out the ingredients of any anti-perspirant. I think you'll find alum listed.
I don't think glass or plastic is good for you either so should I stop storing foods in glass and plastic?
What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)

This document provides a Septic Media Filter Product Source List for components needed for septic media filter systems. Media filter septic systems use a conventional septic tank followed by any of several methods to further filter and treat septic effluent before it is discharged to the soil, soil surface, or waterway. When using a septic media filter system, effluent treatment is by both actual filtration and ultimately by a biochemical process as the filter "matures" and includes its own biomass. Both natural media filter septic systems (such as sand, gravel, or peat) and synthetic media filter septic systems (foam cubes, glass, slag) are used, and both single-pass and effluent recycling systems may be employed. These different septic media filter types are explained here. We include a list of product sources for various types of septic filters.

In increasingly urban France, farmers still wield political clout
France's rural community is shrinking, but candidates in next week's presidential election are careful to woo farmers, who turn out in higher rates than other voters.
Eric Feferberg/AP
Vasselay, France
When President Nicolas Sarkozy praised farming as "a high-tech sector indispensable to the economy" at a meeting of France's biggest farmers union last month, cereal producer Etienne Gangneron felt vindicated.
"We've put agriculture back to the center of the political debate," says Mr. Gangneron, who is also vice president of the union, FNSEA. "We want to show that French agriculture is alive and well, and it makes the country thrive."
Farmers are a critical part of the national identity of Europe's top farming nation. They are the guardians of the good food, joie de vivre, vineyards, and idyllic countryside for which France is known.
But with 18,000 farms closing every year for more than a decade, farmers' clout is on the decline. The election of Mr. Sarkozy, France's first urban president, heralded a new era. Farmers soon resented him for his blunders at farm shows and his support for environmental regulations they view as bureaucratic and stifling. They also blame his government for not doing enough to lower the cost of hiring seasonal workers.
"Sarkozy's disinterest is the reflection of a society that has changed," Gangneron says.
Since Sarkozy's election in 2007, Germany has overtaken France as Europe's first agricultural food exporter. Gangneron says Sarkozy has listened to "ideological groups," rather than the farmers themselves.
"A lot of farmers have not digested this period," says Gangneron. "People are saying 'I am fed up with the Sarkozy era.' "

Lawmakers are answering Governor Easley's call to give him more executive power to respond to a drought.
The house gave final approval today to a plan that gives North Carolina governors additional authority to ensure local governments and water systems reduce water usage during shortages.
Easley called on the General Assembly to pass the measure earlier this year as a widespread drought affected the entire state.
Much of North Carolina is still in drought conditions.
