Happy Anniversary Carol, i realized I am almost 4 yrs old, in March. I would love to reminisce those years from knowing no one to having some already as my friends, at least in blogging. But i think it transcends beyond blogging because the consciousness of the blogger and not blogger is just one! I thank my circumstances to have found you. Take care and God bless. By the way, those types of butterflies are one of the most beautiful swallowtails, however i haven't seen it in my place. You are very privileged.

I wish you a very happy third blogaversary! This morning I rescued a tiny citrus swallowtail caterpillar. He was on my Tahiti lime, the smallest citrus tree, and I moved him to a larger orange tree.

First of all congratulations on three years! The butterflies are beautiful and those sunset colours are over the moon!
- February 7, 2012 at 10:49 PM
Before I noticed the words announcing your 3 year anniversary, I was struck with that beautiful blue sky in your first triptych. I seem to respond to those subtle blues with a hint of green—a more muted version in your last full moon image. Your photography, as always, is arresting; and your words are thoughtful and affecting. Congratulations and thank you for your inspirational posts.

Hello Carol:
We marvel at the patience you must have to sit and wait for the perfect photographs which you present for or delight in your posts. To capture these most beautiful creatures in flight is such a feat and the images here are art forms in themselves.
A remarkable achievement of three years of blogging. Over the years you have recorded the many wonders of the natural world which surrounds you at Flower Hill Farm and the many changes which have occurred in that time. It all comes together in the most beguiling of records and is a perfect tribute to your skills as a photographer, writer and artist.

- Carol said...
Thank you Sweetbay! These sequence shots are best displayed side by side . . . I so agree! Thanks too for sticking with me all these years.
- February 10, 2012 at 7:04 AM
- Carol said...
Dearest Jane and Lance, Thank you for this and all the many thoughtful words you have given me! It is easy to wait when there is such beauty and fragrance around, so I do not deserve much credit there . . . no suffering. ;>) I was so pleased to get three in a frame! At times I have seen up to seven floating in wave-like patterns together. You have hit upon exactly why I blog. I do so want to record all that happens here in this small wildlife habitat and hope to inspire others. Thank you, thank you!!

Chris -- 2011-03-08
, "cluster" and "cloister" do not stem from the same root word. Because they share, however, five prominent consonants and a wide stretch of semantic turf, the are easily confused by English speakers and writers. Those who are confined (cloistered) together, after all, tend to stick (cluster) together.
We find dozens of examples of "clustered monks" and "clustered nuns" on the web. Examples:
: " These clustered nuns almost never get out the monastery."
: " A beautiful, innocent three year old little girl disappeared 35 years ago; one sister is now a clustered nun and the other two bickering unlikeable sisters now want Jackson to discover what happened to her. "
: "The phoenix guards have instead a more ceremonial role, they are similar to a knight order of clustered monks"
"Cluster" for "cloister" is the natural direction of substitution. In general, . In this instance, though, the replacement in the other direction ("cloister" for "cluster") may also count as an eggcorn. Some of the examples with "cloister around" look like they may be confusions with "cluster around:"
: "''Crowds of people cloistered around us. It was so lovely and fun and of course a whole lot of tourists took photos. "
: " Or rather, his animals ate his cake and icecream. Yes, they're all cloistered around for the meal. "
: "The City Family cloistered around the Fire Chief and in one coherent voice declared that it was a private, family matter by their courses of action, political and legal."
Many of the examples of "cloister around" for "cluster around," however, may be deliberate attempts, or echoes of deliberate attempts, to invoke an analogy between crowding together and tight religious communities.
A fine addition to the burgeoning religious eggcorn cluster.
Cluttered nuns just doesn't make sense, but there may be something of a blend with cluster/cloister in cluttered away, as if "hidden in all that clutter".
Cluttered away in Congress is a 1200 page bill with a small paragraph that could create yet another revolution.
The words "sequestered" and "secluded" also may influence alternative ways of referring to cloistered nuns, or sequestered juries.
fanpage: "She spends her childhood with nuns and other noblewomen, seclustered behind walls out from the populace of Italia."
comment forum: "THE JURY WAS NOT SECLUSTERED"
romance blog: "My marriage prospects destroyed, I'll either have a husband that is hardly an ideal match, or perhaps end up secloistered in a convent somewhere to live out my life paying penance for my sins."
If you saw the floor of my office, the idea of a sheaf of paper being "cluttered away" would make perfect sense.

Clinical research has shown that people over 50 have a decline in the number of Bifidobacteria residing in the large intestine. Ultimate Flora Senior Formula is a daily maintenance probiotic formulated specifically for people over 50. What makes Ultimate Flora Senior Formula different from other probiotics is its high Bifidobacteria count. Bifidobacteria are the most prevalent good bacteria in your large intestine, and they begin to decline around age 50‡.
When using probiotics, it's important to choose a probiotic supplement that supports both sections of the intestinal tract. Ultimate Flora probiotics are delivered in delayed release vegetable capsules designed to resist harsh stomach acid.
Because nearly three-quarters of the body's immune system is located in the digestive tract, maintaining a healthy balance of intestinal bacteria is essential to your overall health. The two most prevalent probiotics are Lactobacilli, which make up the majority of the probiotics living in your small intestine, and Bifidobacteria, the most prevalent probiotics residing in your large intestine.

Well i'm in my thirties but i always take this one after any antibiotic course and it really calms my stomach and rebalances my gut.
Great Item! Everyone should take every day. | (Posted on 1/7/15)
Review by Hervey
I saw this on Public TV about 4 years ago. I bought to try and have been using for the last 4 Years and have not had a sick day since I started taking.
Fight fungus fast! | (Posted on 12/16/14)
Review by Lisa
I have suffered with a itchy foot for several years. I have tried absolutely everything I could think of. After using the senior probiotics, 2-3 times a day, the foot is healing and the itching is gone. I am amazed. After going without sugar and other reactive foods, now I am able to eat more things and the real test was that I ate a cinnamon roll last night, and my foot still feels great! I feel like I have my life back!
Helps with Regularity | (Posted on 11/26/14)
Review by PATRICIA
At 77, I was having trouble with regularity, particularly constipation. I began taking Ultimate Flora Senior Formula every day and experienced significant improvement. I have continued with the product for over a year and wouldn't go a day without it.
IBS/D | (Posted on 11/5/14)
Review by camy63
i was using another probiotic but ended up taking two a day which i had to buy it twice a month and cant afford that so one day i saw the senior in a store on sale so i thought heck that low of a cost ill try it sure enough it worked i went thru a week of cramps bad but after that i only had to take one a day but now the store ended selling it so i went online and found it and ordered it, this is the only probiotic that helps my IBS/D.
Thank you | (Posted on 8/4/14)
Review by David
I am a 77 year young male who is in excellent health, exercise junkie, and take no prescription drugs whatsoever, (because I want to live a long and healthy life).
Approx two years ago, however, I developed a case of diarrhea which I could not control, so I went to a holistic doctor based upon a recommendation from a friend. The holistic doctor, actually, made the situation much worse to the point where I returned to my primary care doctor, as I had no energy whatsoever and had trouble breathing. My primary was really upset as she stated that my body was basically ready to shut down. I received an "IV" and was sent home. I almost "never" watch TV, as I consider television to be our Great Modern Plague destroying everyone's brain functions, but I was very tired and turned it on to PBS.....and Brenda Watson was in the middle of her presentation regarding the Senior Formula...."something" told me that it was exactly what I needed. I ordered same immediately and have been taking it ever since, AND HAVE NOT HAD A SINGLE SIMILAR PROBLEM SINCE. My wife has also started taking it. Thank you Brenda !
True Believer | (Posted on 1/9/14)
Review by M
Dad's 90, and had been suffering with irregularity issues of various kinds for quite a while. He tried a few things at the suggestion of different doctors but nothing helped. He's also on a number of medications that might contribute to these problems, but they are not medications he can avoid, as some are for preventing stroke and COPD. Dad was pretty sure the flora wouldn't work, but after a month of using the Ultimate Flora 30 Billion he is a True Believer! (He takes one daily, about a half hour or more before lunch. This separates it from his other meds, which he takes in the morning and the evening.) This protocol has returned him to more colon health than he's had in years. After he had been taking the flora for about a month, he skipped a day by mistake and said that he noticed a difference, so he is staying right on top of it now! (I suspect that after a few months his intestinal flora will build back up to the point where missing one day won't make a difference, but it is clearly still in the process of building up!) And becoming more regular has really contributed a lot to the enhancement of his life, especially in being secure about going out to restaurants, church and other places, and not worrying about having sudden bathroom issues. And I'm glad he's so much happier now!
Best Probiotic So Far | (Posted on 12/29/13)
Review by Paul W.
I completed a 5-day colon cleanse before starting these (senior formula), and I can say that I am digesting food much better and my diverticulosis is much better. I've tried taking two at a time, but that seems a bit much, because my excrement may be too loose at those times, so I cut back to one capsule. A lot less gas, bloating, and I believe it is helping with assimilation of nutrients.
GREAT product!!! | (Posted on 11/4/13)

It works for me.!
Restored after rounds of Antibiotics | (Posted on 6/6/13)
Review by jaspercnr
I took several rounds of different antibiotics for a medical condition that turned out not to be bacterial at all. My previously normal digestion and bowel movements for my whole life got messed up by the ABs. I did lots of research and decided on Ultimate Flora Probiotics and it took two months but I was back to my normal healthy self ever since and periodically take refresher rounds of Ultimate Flora to maintain healthy colon. I had no side effects at all except occasional extra gas if taken near bed time. I also supplemented probiotics with Greek Yogurt and Kefir to round out the probiotics to get my gut back to normal.
Got an unexpected surprise! | (Posted on 4/22/13)
Review by Cheryl
My husband had a terrible string of illnesses over the holidays this year, including a sinus infection (antibiotic treatement), a diverticulitis attack, a horrible migraine and finally the kids brought the stomach flu. I suggested that since he had had to be on a lot of antibiotics it might be a good idea to take a high-quality probiotic for awhile to repopulate him with good bugs. He did, and as long as it was there so did I. We started with the Renew Intense kind, then switched to the Senior formula. Along with normal-acting GI activity we both noticed our blood pressures came down. Seemed a fluke. Doctor said it was no relation. But, just to be sure I looked up research on probiotics and blood pressure and found a fairly recent study done by John Hopkins and Yale tying the two together. Works for us!
totally awesome! | (Posted on 3/25/13)
Review by Happy
For years I have had intestinal issues. I even had a colon-resection surgery two years ago. Recently I started having issues again. Had another Diverticulitis infection when I thought I was all done with those!! So more rounds of antibiotics!! My digestion was so out of whack. Hubby kept asking me if I wanted to try a probiotic and I kept saying, "no, not till after my colonoscopy". Well, one day as we were passing a pharmacy and I was doubled over in pain he convinced me to just try one. So, in we went and studied the labels. No researching of the products, no recommendations from anyone, we just read the labels. I finally decided on your Ultimate Flora for seniors, mainly because I wanted to get back out in the car. Within a few hours I was feeling better! By the next day I was very close to being back on track!! That was about 6 weeks ago. I stopped taking them a week before and a week after my colonoscopy, (would not have had to do this as I have since found out) but am back on them again. It certainly is helping to restore my good bacteria after the antibiotics and my stomach pain is almost gone!!! Will continue using these as they are definitely helping me! So glad we stopped that day and even happier that I chose this product!!!
Sheer misery | (Posted on 3/16/13)
Review by Poppy
Stomach cramps, gas and loose stools is what I experienced taking this! My husband tried it and experienced the same things! Waste of money! Not what it is cracked up to be. Think before you buy!
Excellent product! | (Posted on 1/15/13)
Review by Judi
For as long as I can remember, I've had digestive tract issues.When I was a child. I was given antibiotics quite often because of sore throats and bronchitis well into my 20's. I was so tired of the bloating and gas everytime I'd eat, and the inability to have bowel movements. I also had reflux that was quite noticeable most of the time. Taking fiber made everything worse and increased the already troublesome symptoms, and various meds had no impact on the reflux. I read an article on probiotics and it made total sense. Ultimate Flora had top user ratings so I ordered the Senior Formula. Within one week, my digestion was completely normal. No more stomach upset, bloating, or gas, and my reflux symptoms were gone, also. I could count on 2 normal trips to the bathroom every day at almost the same time on the clock. My energy seemed to noticeably improve, also. You can't believe what a relief it is, and how much more enjoyable life is, when you know that you can eat meals and not have stomach upset, bloating, or reflux. I never thought I'd have this health issue fixed and the Ultimate Flora Senior formula worked even better than I hoped. I'll never use a different brand because this one works perfectly for me. Thanks so much for a great product and for giving me the ability to enjoy eating again.!
Start Off Low | (Posted on 1/2/13)
Review by Karen
I'm giving this 5 star because I believe it works, BUT, I would suggest that if your not currently taking a probiotic or have never taken one that is delayed release straight to the digestive organs, start with a lower dosage, I went thru hell this past week, I wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy! Stomach pains that had me balled up with naseau, couldnt eat, etc,etc, It really was sheer hell! I'm not going back to probiotics for a few weeks and without a doubt am using a LOW DOSAGE! It would have helped if some kind of warning was on the botlle or on this website or in you public tv show, Anything would have helped! I gave it a 5 star because the problem is with the information about the product, So I felt i shouldnt downgrade it
I'm so happy to have found this product | (Posted on 10/15/12)
Review by Lorrie
I suffered from constipation longer than I could recall. After a nasty stomach bacteria, a doctor said to take a probiotic. I got one at the drugstore, but it did nothing for me. Then I happened to see Brenda Watson on PBS, looked her up online, and ordered this probiotic for seniors. I can't believe the change it has made in my life. I heartedly recommend it to everyone. It really does everything it is described as doing!
Great product! | (Posted on 9/19/12)
Review by Linda
In the early part of 2012, I started having digestive problems, which at times happens when I'm under a lot of stuff (good and bad). Anyway, my normal solution was to eat light and take Imodium. After several days, I'll normally be back to normal. Well, it was going on two weeks with no improvement so I scheduled an appointment with my doctor. He did blood work to rule out things and even tried two rounds of medication...still no improvement. With concern, he scheduled me for a colonoscopy. I made a visit to his office a week before my procedure and he suggested taking a probiotic on the off chance that it could help. My results were amazing... In just two days I saw much improvement and before my colonoscopy, I was back to normal. My results of my procedudre showed a healthy colon and I have been on Renew Life Probiotic ever since and am doing great. I now take it every day and have now become a lifelong user. I don't know if it will work as fast and as well for others, but it made me a believer and has become a part of my daily routine. Thanks for such a great product!
Wonderful product | (Posted on 8/24/12)
Review by Alex
I had suffered with diarrhea and loose bowel movement for 4-1/2 years, continuing to loose weight until I was down to 114 lbs. I had noticed this product in a local Vitamin Shoppe and upon noting it ingredients and heavy load of bifido cultures, I bought it.
I took it and 24 hours later my situation was completely turned around, after taking only 1 capsule.
Previous to this, nothing had helped me. From prescriptions to all kinds of nutritional aids, powders, herbs, you name it. When I see any doctors, I tell them I finally found the solution t my problems. They then go scurrying to their pads , computer or what ever to research your product. Because they were not able to help me with all their expertise, not withstanding.
I am now recommending this product to every one I know because I know many people especially seniors, who experience digestive problems. All those other products I had used in the past were a waste of time and my hard earned money.
Incredible Product! | (Posted on 8/2/12)
Review by Very Satisfied Customer
I have been using this product now for about 6 months and am so amazed at the results I have had from it. My skin looks good, no stomach or bowel problems anymore. I believe it took care of the leaky gut syndrome as well. I did stray and try another product for a month BUT I'M BACK AND WON'T STRAY TO ANY OTHER PRODUCT AGAIN. Wonderful product!
Excellent probiotic | (Posted on 4/24/12)
Review by Gail
I have been using this product for the last several months. Besides the usual constipation, bloating and gas, I suffered from tonsil stones for most of my adult life. After taking this product, my digestive system has improved 100% and the tonsil stones are now completely gone. Also, it seems to have regulated my weight! Excellent product! I plan to continue using it for many, many years to come.
This product is great! | (Posted on 3/15/12)
Review by Happy Consumer
I have been taking Ultimate Flora Senior Formula for two months and already my stomach feels great. There is no more bloating and my bowel movements have improved. I haven't had an attack of acid reflux and have not had to take my prescription meds since. This product is great and I am continuing to take it. I am considering a cleanse in the near future.
EXCELLENT PRODUCTS!!!! | (Posted on 10/9/11)
Review by Becky
Ultimate Flora is the TOTAL product. My skin has cleared up. My gums are in the best health ever. My digestive problems are gone. Every person needs to take a probiotic and Brenda Watson's are the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The BEST probiotic | (Posted on 9/8/11)
Review by Beck
I am so pleased with the Renew Life products that I have been using. I began with the Cleanse Smart cleanse, which worked wonders for me. While I was doing the cleanse, I also was taking one Digest More capsule right before each meal. I have tried so many different digestive enzymes and nothing helped my problems with burping and stomach issues. This stuff is awesome. I am taking one Ultimate Flora Senior 30 billion probiotic every day between meals. I tried so many different reputable probiotics with no results until I started using this one ~ it's the BEST. I also struggled with Acid Reflux and was on PPI drugs for a couple of years. I am happy to say that I no longer need these PPI drugs, as these Renew Life products have helped me with that as well. The combination of these three products have truly changed my life. I no longer have to worry about any of these problems when I am around people. I am thankful for Brenda Watson's Renew Life products.

I was skeptical, but not anymore. I started having normal, twice-a-day bowel movements in just two days. My energy level has really perked up.
This is a great product for me | (Posted on 5/7/11)
Review by Mike
I had been using Metamucil and Psylium powder for quite awhile,like months and months.I usually took them once a day after my last meal.At first they worked but then after awhile their were days when i wasn't regular,skipping 1 or 2 days.I was hospitalized for COPD for 2 weeks and during that time i wasn't taking anything.I started going to the bathroom regularly after 2 or 3 days and when i was released and went home, i no longer used anything to help me stay regular.I watched Brenda on PBS and decided to give it a try,what did i have to lose at this point.Now after 2 months i have freed myself of Metamucil,Psyllium,etc. and i'm regular once more,having at least 2 bowel movements daily.Thank you Brenda.

Great product! I have been taking for only a week and my digestive problems have gone away. For the first time in a year, I have gone a week without stomach problems. I can actually leave my house when I want. Thank you Brenda!

Someone recommended I take this. Seemed to make me more regular. Beats yogurt which I don't even really like anyway.

I want to thank you for your product Ultimate Flora 30 Billion. I had an intestinal upset that just seemed to go on and on. I work in an OR and my cases are long. Two doses of the Ultimate Flora 30 billion calmed my intestinal upset. Once again, thank you for your product.

Review by Jo
I saw Brenda on PBS about a month ago and since I had been suffering from constipation for much of my adult life, I figured what the heck?! I bought this product at my local Whole Foods and am so glad that I did. I'm more regular now than I have ever been.
It WORKS! | (Posted on 2/16/11)
Review by Meg
Excellent probiotic! This is the second brand I have tried. First one was 1 billion and I thought that would be enough. It helped but not significantly. This one works great for me. Got rid of constipation and bloating and I've only been taking it for about 1 month.
Not For Me | (Posted on 2/8/11)
Review by Dee
I was taking a probiotic and decided after seeing Brenda Watson on TV that maybe more of a good thing was good. But, in my case, not so much! It actually caused all my IBS symptons to start up. So, I'm going back to a lower dose. Sorry for the bad review but consumers need to know that it doesn't work for all of us. Good Luck!
Finally, something that works! | (Posted on 1/12/11)
Review by Anna
Saw Brenda Watson's special on the public channel and decided to give it a try and have not regretted it since. Was not feeling my optimum at the time I started, but now I've got all kinds of energy and am ready to re-order.
This one works for me | (Posted on 11/29/10)
Review by Edie
First time i have tried a probiotic. I saw brenda watson on TV and it made sense so i tried this Senior product (I am 70ish!). My messy stomach has been under control for a week - that hasn't happened in a long time.

David Siegel began thinking about Graphite in 1982, looking for an architects handwriting with a chiselled pencil look, much like Tekton exemplifies the architects pen and ink metaphor. The handwriting of San Francisco architect Anthony Celis LaRosa became Siegels choice. With the assistance of David Berlow and Tom Rickner, Graphite was designed and released with weight and width axes that allow for its use in a dynamic range from light condensed to black extended. Like Tekton, Graphite is an upright script with simple lines, and is usable in a large variety of informal copysetting situations.

Exhibition Glasgow Style: Arts & Crafts from 1890-1930 at Blackwell in Cumbria – until 31 December 2014
The end of the nineteenth century saw Glasgow's artists emerge as accomplished and talented crafts people. Born at the highly influential Glasgow School of Art and blending together the imagery of the Celtic Revival with influences from Art Nouveau and the Arts and Crafts Movement, the term 'the Glasgow Style' was coined and came to represent this distinctive style developed in the west of Scotland.
This exhibition explores the unique skills of some of the leading makers associated with this period including Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Talwin Morris, Jessie Marion King, Ernest Archibald Taylor and Margaret and Frances Macdonald, showing the strength and prominence of Glaswegian Arts and Crafts.

Call for contributions Vienna: 1900: Brussels – until 31 December 2014
International Workshop/Publication
Between the 1880's and the 1920's, an international network of transcultural exchanges led to accelerated innovations in multiple cultural fields in many parts of Europe. Strong emphasis has been made by researchers and exhibitors on the relations between Vienna and Paris, which was considered the capital of culture, attracting craftsmen, artists, musicians, and writers from all over Europe.
We are looking for book contributions in literature, theatre, architecture, design, music, opera, psychoanalysis, politics, popular culture, visual arts, and all cultural fields acknowledging and analysing the interdisciplinary and transcultural networks of Brussels and Vienna around 1900.
In cooperation with the Wirth Institute for Austrian and Central European Studies at the University of Alberta, we are planning to publish a volume and to discuss the contributions in a workshop in Edmonton (September 10-12, 2015). We will be considering circulating all accepted contributions to participants, beforehand.
The abstracts (300 words and short biography) must be sent by December 31, 2014

What's the most useful piece of advise that you've been given in regaurds to disc golf? I'm thinking if we each post some of the most useful advise we've been given we'll have a great archive of tips and knowledge. Here are a few tips I've been given that have been the most effective.
Ken Climo's advise of releasing your putt with quite a bit of hyzer angle to eliminate misses on the right side of the basket has been VERY effective.
Dave Greenwell once advised me to keep everything SLOW except my arm. This slowed my footwork down and increased my distance and accuracy. He also told me to act as if I'm elbowing my target. This helped me achive the proper height in my angle of release.
Ken Reed and I were playing doubles one day against Butter and someone else at OCP. We were on #13 and I had thrown my hook thumb route over the trees and we ended up taking my drive as I had landed about 50 feet left, pin high. I had only been play for about a year and hitting 50 foot putts was not a common task for me. I threw the putt first and missed. Ken then lined up and drained the putt with out hardly a moments thought. So I asked "How'd you do that?" He simply replied, "It's NOT that hard." I feel like that was one of the greatest lessons I've ever recieved in this game. Everytime before I putt I usually mumble or at the least think to myself..."It's not that hard." It reminds me to relax and breath and throw it in because it's really not that hard.

Deconstruction continues at the site of the former Kimberly-Clark mill along the Everett waterfront on Thursday. This view is looking southwest from W. Marine View Drive.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Destruction of the former Kimberly Clark Pulp and Paper Mill on the Everett waterfront is seen in this photo taken from Naval Station Everett on September 18, 2012. The two main smokestacks were still standing at the time.
Should they zone the shoreline near the former Kimberly-Clark mill for water-dependent industries, to take advantage of the property's rare access to deep water and rail lines? Or should they reserve the 90-plus acres for office parks and light manufacturing, which some believe promise more jobs and higher wages?
Another dilemma: whether to allow public access to this slice of waterfront at the risk of irking its neighbors, Naval Station Everett and the Port of Everett.
Knowing their decision could reverberate for generations to come, the City Council is taking its time. Last week, Council President Ron Gipson pushed back a vote that had been expected Wednesday, though people still have the chance to testify during a 6:30 p.m. hearing that evening in City Council chambers. That makes a final decision unlikely until January.
"It's going to be something that's going to be with us for the rest of our lives," Gipson said. "We'll make sure everybody's comfortable with it."
The vote involves the city's land-use regulations and part of its comprehensive plan.
Everett, once known as Mill Town, lost its final mill in April, when Dallas-based Kimberly-Clark closed its Everett site for good. More than 700 people lost jobs. Demolition began last summer.
Kimberly-Clark is trying to sell the vacant 66-acre property, which makes up the bulk of the waterfront area the city is looking to rezone.
Kimberly-Clark has talked to several prospective buyers, though confidentiality agreements prevent disclosing who they are, company spokesman Bob Brand said. One party, however, has made no secret of its interest: The Port of Everett.
The city has spent months examining the issues at play, through public meetings, an economic analysis and hours of testimony from everyday people and experts alike.
The information led the city Planning Commission, in October, to a unanimous recommendation of zoning the immediate shoreline for water-dependent industrial development. That option would allow development that doesn't require water access in areas farther from the shore.
The commission had three other options to consider: keeping the area's current zoning for heavy industry and some other uses, a path Kimberly-Clark supported; requiring mostly water-dependent industrial uses; or zoning for business parks with more opportunities for the general public to enjoy the waterfront.
The commission's recommendation added restrictions, such as a 50-foot height limit, that could go up to 80 feet to accommodate manufacturing equipment. It also bars some types of heavy manufacturing that create unpleasant smells, excessive noise or dust.
Fish processing, composting and petroleum refineries wouldn't be allowed, city planning director Allan Giffen said.
Mayor Ray Stephanson said he supports the commission's choice and the "thoughtful approach" they used to get there.
"A majority of the people who participated in the process spoke in favor of keeping the site as a jobs center with industrial zoning," Stephanson said.
Whether in greater port operations, shipbuilding or the aerospace industry, the mayor said that course would lead the city in a prudent direction.
Stephanson said he has no issue with the council taking more time for its decision, so long as they vote by late January. That would allow the new rules to take effect before Feb. 15, when a year-long city development moratorium for the site is set to expire.
"Without a moratorium, we could certainly have an outcome there that's not in concert with what the planning commission recommended," Stephanson said.
Not everyone on the City Council is ready to sign onto the commission's recommended plan.
Councilwoman Brenda Stonecipher reasons that business parks and light manufacturing best serve the city's goal of economic development, environmental cleanup and public access. Banking the city's future on heavy industry is short-sighted, Stonecipher said.
"I think that vision really only lasts for 10, 20 years, then you're going to see this kind of operation gone," she said. "Shouldn't we look at an 80- to 100-year plan? That's really the timeline for waterfront development if you look nationally."
Stonecipher points to the economic analysis performed for the city, showing that business parks would create a higher density of jobs and higher average wages than heavy industry.
Furthermore, she contends the Port of Everett isn't big enough to compete with the much larger ports of Seattle and Tacoma.
"The economic case is pretty clear-cut as to which alternative is better for the city and the taxpayers," Stonecipher said.
Councilman Paul Roberts said he's continuing to study the options, but that Stonecipher's argument deserves consideration. Roberts said there's a wealth of information to inform any decision the council makes, thanks to the planning commission's work.
Councilman Shannon Affholter, meanwhile, said he's comfortable with the conclusion reached by the Planning Commission.
"We have a long history of a working waterfront," Affholter said. "Maybe there's a potential for expanding cargo handling and shipbuilding capabilities."
While an office park might, theoretically, support more jobs, Affholter wondered whether the market would support it. There's evidence of an oversupply of this type of commercial property, he said, and companies might prefer to locate office parks in less expensive commercial zones farther from the water.
"The worst thing we can do is to get stuck with ideas that look good on paper, but might ultimately fail because of economic realities," he said. "The last thing I want to see is for this property to sit vacant for a decade or longer."
Everett's waterfront was first developed at the turn of the previous century. From the 1930s on, it was mostly used for pulp and paper manufacturing.
That's left toxic trouble spots to clean up, including petroleum products on land and chemicals left over from the paper-making process in the adjacent waterway.
The state Department of Ecology has reached an agreement with Kimberly-Clark outlining the kinds of studies and investigations needed to clean up the contamination on land. Those studies will be used to put together a cleanup plan.

Government shutdown: 4 things feds should know
Tuesday - 10/1/2013, 2:00am EDT
With the clock hitting midnight and no deal on funding federal agencies in sight, lawmakers have essentially hit the "off" switch on government.
For thousands of federal employees who head to work today, it won't be to execute their agencies' missions, but to shut down their computers, fill out a timesheet and, in some cases, hand over their BlackBerry smartphones.
Here are four things feds should know as they prepare for the first government shutdown in more than 17 years.
What happens now?
Agency supervisors late last week began informally telling employees if they would be deemed essential, and required to work through the shutdown, or nonessential and forced onto unpaid leave.
Regardless, all employees are expected to report to work today, but not everyone will be working a full day's work. Those employees not excepted from furloughs — estimated to be as many as 800,000 employees governmentwide — are expected to take no more than three or four hours to secure their files and work stations before their furloughs officially begin, according to shutdown guidance issued by the Office of Management and Budget last week.
For some employees, those shutdown preparations could even include handing over their agency-issued smartphones, according to OMB.
The law barring federal employees from working or volunteering their services when congressional appropriations have lapsed, extends "to work performed from outside of the office, including via mobile devices or remote computer connections," OMB's guidance stated.
Some agencies, such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development, have set a hard deadline for closing its doors to nonessential workers. HUD offices will close at 1 p.m., according to the Associated Press.
Who and what will be affected?
At a press briefing Monday afternoon, President Barack Obama described what a government shutdown would look like.
"Office buildings would close; paychecks would be delayed," he said. "Vital services that seniors and veterans, women and children, businesses and our economy depend on would be hamstrung ... Veterans, who've sacrificed for their country, will find their support centers unstaffed. Tourists will find every one of America's national parks and monuments, from Yosemite to the Smithsonian to the Statue of Liberty, immediately closed."
All told, according to recent reports, between 800,000 and 1 million federal employees — more than one-third of the 2.1 million-member federal workforce — would be classified as nonessential and placed on unpaid leave.
However, individual agencies are tasked with making the final determinations about who will be required to work through the shutdown, according to administration guidance.
"Excepted employees include employees who are performing emergency work involving the safety of human life or the protection of property or performing certain other types of excepted work," according to Office of Personnel Management guidance updated this month.
Agencies, large and small, plan to furlough large portions of their workforces.
Defense Department officials said last week as many as 400,000 civilian DoD workers — roughly half of its civilian workforce — will be furloughed starting today.
More than 90 percent of the Internal Revenue Service's 90,000 employees will be forced to stay home without pay, according to that agency's contingency plan posted online. About 70 percent of the staff at the National Institutes of Health will be furloughed, while just 3 percent of the 18,000 employees at NASA will remain working.
(Click here for a list of more agency shutdown plans.)
The process for shutting the government down is "agonizing" said Sally Katzen, a senior adviser at the Podesta Group and former OMB official during the Clinton administration.
"This is not like a lightbulb that you turn it on and off," Katzen said in an interview on In Depth with Francis Rose. "And when you turn it off, there are all sorts of things that can happen. First, you have an interruption — an interruption that is not natural, an interruption that can have other consequences. Think about research that is being done at NIH or if you're working on curating an exhibit at the Smithsonian. It makes sense to keep working something through to the end. If you're interrupted, then in starting it back up again, what have you lost beside just the time and the momentum?"
Building and workspaces owned, leased or managed by the General Services Administration will remain open to accommodate excepted personnel, according to a statement from GSA spokesman Dan Cruz. However, GSA services will be limited and similar to weekend operations, he said. Parking for those facilities will remain available.
GSA child-care centers are nongovernmental entitities, so they can legally remain open during a shutdown, GSA said. However, it's up to each center to make the final call. GSA is encouraging parents to check with their local centers to confirm their status, Cruz said.
Will feds get paid?
As with other shutdown issues, the question of who gets paid during a shutdown turns on whether the employee in question is essential or nonessential.
Excepted employees who work through the shutdown will be paid once Congress agrees on a deal to restore funding, although, depending on the length of the shutdown, their paychecks could be delayed.
That's raised the ire of the American Federation of Government Employees.
"We believe that the law is very clear: Without an appropriation, you really can't expend funds," said AFGE President J. David Cox in an interview on the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp. "And for the government to be able to say, 'Oh, well these are essential and so we're going to require you to go to work but not pay you on payday' — give me a break. No other employer in this country's allowed to do that."
Cox said AFGE is considering taking the issue to court to ensure federal workers are paid on time.
However, backpay for furloughed federal workers is even more uncertain.
Following the last government shutdown in the mid-1990s, Congress, through special legislation, allowed for retroactive pay.
But that's no guarantee this time around.
"I think we all would agree it was a very different time and a very different Congress," Colleen Kelley, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, said in a telephone briefing with reporters late last week. "But without exception, we believe that they should be paid, that it is just totally inappropriate and unfair to put them in any other position. And, so, we're going to do everything we can to make it happen."
Kelley said she's also concerned that employees will become complacent about backpay, having heard the "folklore" about the last shutdown.
"This is not a done deal and it will be a fight," she said.
Still, it will be a while before federal employees see a hit to their paychecks. Employees will still receive their paychecks on or around Oct. 15 — for hours worked through Sept. 30 — regardless of whether the government remains shut down. According to OPM and OMB guidance, payroll for the last pay period preceding a shutdown will still be processed, even during a shutdown — albeit with the minimum number of staff required to do so.
There are a few resources federal employees facing shutdown furloughs can turn to.
The Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund offers one-time $1,000 loans to federal employees facing financial hardship who need help paying basic living expenses.
The organization, however, was forced to tighten its criteria for issuing furlough loans this month after unprecedented demand this summer stemming from sequestration-related furloughs.
"Starting this summer, we saw requests for our loans double month-to-month," Robyn Kehoe, FEEA's director of field operations, told Federal News Radio. In August, FEEA paid out $300,000 in loans to furloughed feds; the typical monthly loan total is about $40,000, she added.
Still, the loans remain available for federal employees who are furloughed and face another extreme, financial hardship, Kehoe said. However, furloughed feds will have to wait until they receive their first "short" paycheck before applying for the loan.
The National Association of Federal Credit Unions said its member organizations are prepared to help federal customers.
For example, the Navy Federal Credit Union will advance active-duty military members their normal pay for Oct. 15 — even if the government remains shut down. After the government reopens and normal direct deposits resume, that amount will then be deducted from customers' accounts.
For civilian federal employees, the credit union is offering loan assistance and will expedite requests to increase credit lines on Navy Federal credit cards.
Finally, employees have legal recourse to appeal furlough decisions with the Merit Systems Protection Board. But that agency is, itself, facing widespread furloughs of its employees, and it plans to limit its operations to minimal functions, according to its online contingency plan.

Almost a quarter century after the release of its predecessor, Canon's new 24mm f/2.8 prime lens is shaping up to be a worthy successor. Not only does the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM add optical image stabilization (for up to four stops of correction) and a new ultrasonic autofocus motor, but after putting the lens through the paces of DxOMark testing, it has proved to be a top-notch performer as well, delivering excellent value for its $849 price. Not only does it outperform its predecessor in Sharpness and Transmission scores, but it also stands up to lenses that sell for more than twice the price, outperforming the Carl Zeiss Distagon T 21mm f/2.8 ZE on multiple tests and matching or besting the high-end Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM on DxOMark tests.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.

Club competitions
National team competitions
Nationality: UKRBorn : 04.02.1989Height: 2.02mPosition: C
After missing out on the qualification round last summer with a back injury, Khomenchuk is likely to be back under the basket for Ukraine since she remains one of the most highly rated frontcourt players available. She has enjoyed some consistent and impressive performances during previous outings in a national team jersey, including a productive youth career. In recent times, she has showcased her abilities in Minsk by producing some excellent displays for Horizont and especially in EuroCup Women, where she averaged 10.3 rebounds-per-game in the competition. She showed she is a confident player too and able to do it against quality players, racking up a monstrous double-double of 13 points and 17 rebounds against eventual finalists Kayseri Kaski spor. If she returns to the mix as anticipated, she could be a real force defensively, although by her own admission, she needs to prove her fitness and health during preparation first.

I'm guessing Body Kouros does not fall within the 'super popular' category so my vote goes to 1 Million. I'd have chosen Le Male if it weren't for the substitutes that are on the market right now (Cuba, Perry Ellis....)
Ground rules:
1) If you have one or several super-populars already in your wardrobe, operate under the assumption that you could only keep one.
2) If you have no super-populars, operate under the assumption that you could add any one to your wardrobe that you wanted.
3) Super-popular is distinguished from merely popular: Super-popular includes AdG, Cool Water, Gaultier Le Male, Azzaro Chrome, I.Miyaki, 1 Million, Armani Code, Fuel For Life, etc. It does not include merely "popular" frags like M7, He Wood, etc etc etc etc etc.

Its funny, I was actually thinking about this the other day.
Where are all these people wearing these popular fragrances?
I BARELY smell fragrance on ANYONE. I dont know if its because we live in an era where Axe is more popular then EDT's, ect but during school ive smelt fragrance on a guy twice. Once was Platinum Egoiste and once was Chrome. Ive smelled Acqua Di Gio on a guy ONCE in the last like 2-3 years, and it was some creepy fat kid at a party that used like 15 sprays
To my delight, ive smelled Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male on ONE other person in my entire life. ONCE. and that was the first time i smelled it and the moment i fell in love with it with i smelled it on my friend.
The only other time ive smelled fragrance on someone is my two friends who i gifted with La Nuit and D&G The One.
Green Irish Tweed
If GIT is not deemed "super" popular, then L'eau de Issey Pour Homme.
Last edited by StylinLA; 6th February 2011 at 07:18 PM.
None. I don't really like any of them (although I have a bottle of Code that I never wear). Maybe I'm just to old too appreciate these fragrances.
Creed BDP- insofar as this one is popular
Might be Chrome for me.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
Jean Paul Gaultier - Le Male
Thierry Mugler's - Pure Malt
For me it has to be Creed Windsor but if it has to be super popular then it would be Chrome.
Want to run with the big dogs stop pooping like a puppy!
lol at people who name creeds.
Terre d'Hermès is still popular, right? I'll go with that. One of my first loves, and still at or near the top for me.
Le Male
The Financial Times Weekend edition list the current super populars as: Bang, The One Gentleman, Bleu de Chanel (which has now given Chanel 10% of the total market), Polo Pony, Colonia Assenza, Terre d'Hermez, and Bulgari Man. The article was by Jim Shi. AdG and Le Male were nowhere on the list.
I'd have to have Bang. Everyone understands pepper and if some biddy yells at you for wearing too much cologne, one can offer the excuse you simply spilled pepper while applying it to your french fries. I kinda like it. T d'H is mighty good for the price too.
Neither is on my to-buy list, however.
Edit: The article also makes it plain there has been a tremendous surge in male fragrance sales since 2007/8 with no sign of abatement. Kudos to YouTube and Basenotes for their roles in doling out the enthusiasm!!!!
Gotta go with Issey.
No question... Le male
C W without a doubt.
Smellin good
I would go with Chrome, Le Male as a back-up choice. If you considered any in my wardrobe as super-popular (I didn't think any qualified) they would trump those first two.
Terre d Hermes
*opens santa sock*
I've been a good boy...
with that said however i can understand wanting to avoid the extremely popular scents that a lot of the general public may have been exposed to (ie to avoid smelling like someones ex, etc)
From the FT list I'd pick Bleu, but I'd never actually buy it.
Also sometimes we may have olfactory fatigue from the musk and calone saturated air that only non musky or aqua scents stand out.
in my country, there are also people who prefer reconstructed designer scents sold for a fraction of the price (which, stink over time into a very disgusting BO/musk combo) and it does make things worse.
Though I prefer GIT, given the intention of the OP, I'll go Cool Water.
I too rarely smell fragrances on men. But hey, I live in South Central Kansas. Guys around here pretty much think they've gone above and beyond if they spray themselves with some Axe, Tag, or Adidas. Designer is, for all intents and purposes, niche, in these parts. Which, to be quite honest, is fine by me.
The only 2 ''popular'' fragrances that i own are Le Male and 1 Million.Le Male makes my stomach sick and i keep it only because it was a gift from a special person.1 Million for me.
Do you think Fahrenheit falls in your category?
terre d'hermes
1 million
who makes colonia assenza? acqua di parma?
L'eau de Issey Pour Homme.
I don't know, something boring like Code or IM, I suppose then I'd cry every day because I'd want something else
If i had to choose, it would be Cool Water. My first ever fragrance, still love it.
Armani Code. I just love it.
Égoïste ... if that is not popular enough,
then I'd choose Fleur du Male.
I don't like any of the über popular frags.
I don't know if this is super popular, but I'd go with Bulgari Man.
If not that, then Versace PH. If not that, then Givenchy Play, which is fairly popular.
***For sale:
Iris Pallida 50ml
Ungaro I 75ml
and more! - http://www.basenotes.net/threads/301...n-Man-and-more
Terre D'Hermes (Parfum) I assume the EDT might be more popular!?
"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each!" - Henry David Thoreau
Dior Homme would be my obvious choice for super-popular PH.
If it has to be super popular....then I will choose not to wear the cologne proudly....don't like to follow the crowd.....
Keeping strictly to the rules, it would have to be Cool Water. Which I do enjoy, but don't own because people have actually asked me not to wear it. It's instantly recognisable, and as such suffers from the scent-of-the-ex associations more than most.
If I had to wear only one super-popular scent and I lived on a desert island by myself, I'd enjoy my Cool Water very much.
Please feel free to check out my Swap Thread - Patou pour Homme, L'Instant de Guerlain PH Extreme, Dior Homme Intense, Pure Malt, Pure Coffee and many more! Click Here For My Swap Thread
I have two...
YSL L'homme
YSL La Nuit de L'homme
I'm only going to have La Nuit de L'homme until this 30 ml runs out. Then I'm going niche.
Don't Smell the Flowers,
They're an Evil Drug to Make You Lose Your Mind --- Dio
I didn't think that list could be the current bestsellers, apart from TdH, all of them were launched in the second half of 2010. There is no way word of mouth has spread enough in that short time for these to outsell AdG and Le Male.
The article says these were the biggest launches of 2010, not the biggest sellers. In other words, they sold larger amounts in their first few weeks compared to the first few weeks sales of fragrances in the past. Not the same thing as biggest sellers at all.
The article does come across as a summary of recent high profile launches, to make the point that the rate of launches has accelerated.
with General Public:
Cool Water for Men
On Bn:
Lyric Man (I don't see much of this talked about lately, but I believe the fans are still fans)

Two steps forward. One step back.
I would have said Creed's Green Irish Tweed but I don't know if that's "super" popular outside of Basenotes. What I consider super popular are the fragrances I see on my friends' dressers consistently, like Chrome, AdG, Cool Water, Polo Blue, Armani Code, Hugo by HB, Le Male, etc. Of these, I would most likely buy Armani Code since I genuinely think it smells really good (Le Male would be a close 2nd due to its monstrous projection).
Davidoff Cool Water. Easily wearable.
Looking for Hermessence Ambre Narguile and for TFPB Moss Breches (50ml bottle), willing to pay in cashdollars. PM me!
Armani Code.
Only because I don't think Dior Homme or TdH fall under OP's "super popular" category.
"It's not what you look like when you're doing what you're doing; it's what you're doing when you're doing what you look like you're doing."
A Men. If that's not super popular enough then Farenheit. I like to be smelled lol. I think that's the reason most people don't smell these super popular frags on anyone because they are designed to be non intrusive and when is the last time you as a guy smelled some strange dudes neck? Referring to AdG, Coolwater, Code, etc. and even Le Male sprayed on lightly you wont smell them in a room full of people.
YSL L'Homme for me.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
Would Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce work?? That's my choice.
Chanel Allure Homme Sport EDT
Fahrenheit. If not popular enough then Terre D'Hermes
Terre d'Hermes or 1 Million (Yeah, yeah, shaddap. I actually like it)
Aramis New West (preferably old bottle)
Patrick by Fragrances of Ireland
Azzaro Aqua
Gloria by Cacharel
PM me if you have bottles that you're willing to sell or trade!
Green Irish Tweed
Boss Bottled
I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet. To me, it's one of the most versatile scents I've come across. The warmness is great for fall & winter, and the freshness from the initial blast is good for spring & summer. It also smells really good without being too loud or obnoxious like 1 Million or Le Male. Definitely a compliment getter/crowd pleasing scent.
I would own it, but the goal of my wardrobe is to smell great and get lots of compliments while still being unique. Unfortunately, I've smelled this on too many people to consider it unique.
It's great stuff though.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
