Hello all. Institut Tres Bien Tres Russe.
Good wee hours, I am having a pleasant insomnia, soothed with vintage Antilope EdT.

schools are closed) and revel in Cinnabar, whilst doing a batch of cooking.
A woman without perfume is like a flower without a scent.

Following Kewart's example today. Off work, snow already started here and looks set to continue for the day.
Venison casserole in the slow cooker, wine in the rack, dvds and nibbles ready for action. Good luck to anyone facing the prospect of public transport later - this pathetic country usually grinds to a halt at the merest sign of anything wintery.
In synch today with Zino Davidoff.
nice to see afternoon greetings in the morning ,
hello to Pamplelune et all ,

((hugs back)) from Mom and me! I think she is okay; it just rattled her. And it rattled me, too, I suppose, but now that 36 hours have passed without further incident, I think the immediate danger is over.
Happy Birthday to Whitefluffy and odysseusm!

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan

Happy Birthday to Whitefluffy and Odysseum Have a great time on your camping trip, Whitefluffy! I've only ever spent time in northern New Mexico, in the Abiquiu area, although I did venture down to Bandelier, Santa Fe, and Albequerque. Such a lovely state.
Odysseum, you smell wonderful. I adore Norne and suspect I may succumb to a full bottle before spring.
Jon and Kewart, I'm jealous! A day cooking and relaxing at home sounds perfect. Although it will be 50 F here today, so the outdoors is actually beckoning.
I'm in synch today in Dans Tes Bras (Roucel). I'm enjoying it quite a bit.
Happy Birthday to all who celebrate today, Whitefluffy, Ody and Mr RHM. I hope you all
have a very special day.
Have fun on your trip, Whitefluffy!
Today wearing Ava Luxe Madeline.
Have a great weekend!
Three birthdays?! We're gonna need a bigger cake ... or cupcakes!
Best wishes to Ody, Whitefluffy, and Mr. RHM
Duh. Yesterday I was reminding everyone about sync Friday, and here I failed to observe it. Let's see if I can remember later, after I shower.
For this a.m., I'm back in vintage Shalimar extrait. Might as well get to know it before it ages further. See, Mr. Q is away for the morning, so I'm allowed to stink as I like. Plan to call Ulta once they open and ask which Shali they have on the shelf.
And now ... off for a date with the vacuum.
donna255 - you smell FANTASTIC. One of my favorites eaux's. Sad that the line was disco'd.
Happy Birthday to my buddy Odysseusm (I will wear some Norne tonight & think of you) and to White Fluffy and also to RedHotDaddy (LOL)!
Quarry - silly girl, you were the one who reminded me yesterday that today was Roucel/Bourdon sync and you went up and forgot with your Shalimar-on-the-brain (I'm to blame, right?). You'll be throwing off beautiful sillage from behind the vacuum.
In sync in:
Kouros (vintage) by Yves St. Laurent
I realized, when I went to my sample pile, that I only had two scents to participate in the Sync. I could have sworn I owned more Roucel scents...but I thought wrong. There are many that I have been meaning to own (Dans Tes Bras, KenzoAir, etc) but the only I have a bottle of (mini) is Bourdon's Kouros - although I have a decant of Iris Silver Mist I'm gonna wear later (from Roucel).
I learned, from a few guys on BN, that the best time to wear Kouros is on a hot Summer day. I thought it sounded ridiculous, but one time I went to an outdoor festival right on the beach (on the sand) on a hot June day and I decided 'what the hell' and wore it. It really worked. So, I always think of this as a Summer scent. However, today, we got a cold blast that came through Miami, and it's cold (for us) today...so here I am wearing it in different weather - and it also smells fantastic. It's not quite as 'huge' as when I'm sweating and my body temperature is hot. Underneath my flannel shirt and undershirt, sitting here at my desk, every time I move around I am treated to that wonderful incense/honey/musk smell that is unmistakeably Kouros.

Happy Birthday Whitefluffy!!!! You should have some great weather for your camping trip! Enjoy And you smell great
I am in a cloud of Chanel No. 22 from my new bottle. Slowly drifting further and further towards an almost pure Chanel girl, but I know that will never totally take place. But my collection grows
CJ Scents Sandalwood edp today.
Have a great Friday!
I'm in synch today in Maurice Roucel's Rochas Tocade layered over a smidge of Attar Bazaar's Indian Patchouli oil – what a reek! But I like them together. I'm busy vacuuming and cleaning house today, too. B-belle is coming home this evening, and after two weeks of enjoying hotel amenities I didn't want him to come home to a scuzzy wreck. Dust bunny round up today.
I've been enjoying my two or three staple fragrances, one for day and one night; but also rose fragrances lately, especially layering – for example: perfumer's workshop tea rose over kiehl's original musk. Today's Tocade over patchouli oil. I suppose I'm aiming for an underlying dirty earthiness with a rose aura hovering above. Wearing a fragrance that is composed with these elements gracefully blended doesn't interest me, it's the odd layering that I'm enjoying. It's a phase.
Happy Birthday to Odysseusm!
Happy Birthday, Whitefluffy!
Happy Birthday wishes to RHM's husband, too!
Have a good weekend everybody!
Best wishes to RedHotHubby.

Whew cold today. A sweater and She-Wolf, the vanilla and "dirty musk" that is so wierdly compelling to me. Both my littler daughters asked for City Rain today, so they go off to school smelling good too, though the small car did not smell so good with all of us in there together.
Bonjour mes dames! It's been forever since I posted here, but I still recognise a few names.
My enthusiasm for scent waned for a while, but it's on an upswing again due to a recent lucky find: Convent des Minimes Eau Aimable.
Hope everyone's 2013 is off to a good start.
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.
Douglas Adams
In synch today with Maurice Roucel's L'Instant de Guerlain. I have not worn this in while (last worn in March!) and I am really enjoying the honey-ed magnolia. It feels really powder-y and fluffy today ... but then again, I'm wearing a few more spritzes than usual since I'm not at work.
Sending happy birthday wishes to Whitefluffy, Ody, and Mr RHM!
I've trademarked the color bleu
Evening all. Snowing steadily here, but since I've no place to go ... well, you know the rest ...
Still with Mr Roucel in L by Lolita Lempicka. A nice companion piece to Musc Ravageur, same musky, vanilla vibe, but much sweeter.
Happy Birthday Whitefluffy - sorry I missed you off my morning post! Enjoy your trip.
Happy Birthday to Mr RHM too.
Happy Birthday also to Mr. RHM!
I'll be twinned with Jon this evening, and still in synch (courtesy of M. Bourdon) in Feminite du Bois. Jon, are you enjoying a lovely red wine tonight with the venison? (YUMMY!!)
It's a violet kind of day but with two very different takes on it.

Good evening all.
Scent twins with 30R in Mandorlo di Sicilia. I adore it in summer but have found it too sweet in today's below zero degrees temperatures.
I also meant to say, Jon, that your venison stew sounds wooooonderful! I've never prepared venison myself, only had it in restaurants, but I'd love to try my hand at venison stew sometime. I'll have to see where I can source some local venison.
I got my seven Ambra Di Luna samples today! Yay! I smell gooood. Got from the RM sample program. Draw back, they are dab ons, not sprays, may try to put these into a spray atomiser.
Happy B-day to all the BNers who have one today!
Hey y'all -
I'm in a few dabs of vintage Obsession parfum this afternoon, along with a bit of Kiehl's Musk oil to add a twist of something ...different. I just love this ambery, earthy and ever-so-slightly dirty duo lately.

It happened again: Yesterday a terrified carriage horse bolted down a busy New York City street, flipped over and was pinned to the ground. As traffic ground to a halt, rescue workers and good Samaritans labored to free the equine from under the wrecked carriage and prevent further suffering.
This is unacceptable. Carriage horses were never meant to live and work in today's urban settings. From congested city streets to startling noises, New York City is a nightmare for these animals—and current City laws do not afford working horses adequate protection to ensure their safety and wellbeing.
"How many horses and people must be hurt before New York City wakes up and realizes we are in the 21st century?" asks Michelle Villagomez, ASPCA New York City Legislative Director. "Let's change with the times and push for a safe, humane alternative."
Take Action!
Your help is urgently needed to protect our city's working carriage horses. The ASPCA has been working hard to pass legislation that would take the burden off these horses and create a more humane attraction for tourists. If you live in New York City please urge your councilmember to support and cosponsor Intro. 86A, legislation that would phase out horse-drawn carriages in New York City, replacing them with vintage electric cars. Yesterday's accident is only the latest reminder that the time has come to get these sensitive animals off our streets.
i am so sorry for that horse.
I was born and raised in N.J. right across the river from lower Manhattan. I worked on 39th and 7th ave for years and always hung out in the city.
We always saw these poor babies, day, night, hot ,cold. Looked to me as if they were suffering, not having a good time.
I never rode in one cause I just did not want this poor creature to pull me for no reason.
This is an antiquated thing and needs to stop. Get a bike and ride folks around.

Nope, won't let me send msg either...Hello!!! How are we supposed to support and speak up???
I tried to send a message to stop this animal cruelty. I so upset about these poor horses being victimized for the almighty dollar. There is way too much traffic & uncaring, crazy drivers in NYC for horse drawn carriages anymore. It's not only a danger to the horses but to humans also!
I believe that animal cruelty & neglect is a criminal act. What is one to do whom has but one voice ? I say start in your own backyard, community and remember if even one person hears we double in strength and numbers. I have the pleasure of being the guardian of the bravest little beagle. Unfortunately the victim of a most horrid act of abuse by a local groomer & lost 3/4 of her hind leg. The sparkle is back in her eyes and that business is now shut down! So , you can make a difference and you are not alone. I thought I was and Had the help of the BBB & the true heroes that are in the trenches 24/7.
Stay strong, Kate Brooks
Well, first of all, no one was injured, not the horse, not the driver and no pedestrians. Second, this is an extremely rare occurrence, what, maybe two in 20 years if my facts check out? How many people have been hit by cars or cabs in that length of time?
Horses have been a part of busy city streets for thousands of years. One might say that horses in the city built our civilization.
What we have here is a very vocal, yet uninformed group of Radical Animal Rights Activist who insist that animals have the same rights as humans. This isn't true. Horses have the right to be cared for, fed and loved. If you take the time to look at them on the streets or visit the stables, you will see that those rights are covered.
What's interesting to me is that many of the same people who are complaining about the horses "walking on hot pavement, breathing the poisoned air," etc usually have their dogs with them. Am I missing something here?
As I said, I strongly believe that the push for banning the carriages is the work of a very small group, financed by PETA and a few other special interest groups and and supported by a few politicians who are only out for their votes and campaign contributions. WAKE UP NEW YORKERS! If you don't theses lovely animals and the ambiance they bring to your city may well disappear forever. Don't let the minority and corrupt politicians take away one of your most cherished traditions.
Sounds to me like it's the automobile drivers that are the problem and not the horses. Horses and Carriage Horse do belong in NYC. Only uncaring and unknowing people think otherwise. It's so strange that people believe the propaganda and never bother to find out the truth. This information is nothing but false propaganda and I'm sure will never be allowed on this site. They don't like the truth. Unthinking people just follow and never seek out the facts.

Sandra Oh is obviously the class of the show, followed in close succession by Chandra Wilson and Kate Walsh as the breathtaking Addison and of course, we all love Sara Ramirez (pronounced Sah-Dah, soft "d", almost a rolling R and D combination, as I learned when I interviewed her recently for eTalk), and even though it's called GREY's Anatomy, I gotta tell you that even the hysterical Izzy, whose storyline I abhorred last year, is preferable to whiny Meredith, in character and debatably in person – if that episode of Punk'd is to be considered.

We are devastated to report that a three-month-old Pit Bull puppy named Joey was thrown from a car in Brentwood, Long Island, on Saturday. A witness found the tiny 10-pound pup in a plastic bag near the Sagtikos State Parkway, covered in fleas and crying out for help. Joey suffered three broken vertebrae in his neck and is recovering at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island.
The ASPCA is offering a reward of $15,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case. This reward is in addition to a $5,000 reward offered by the Suffolk County SPCA. We are also providing a $10,000 grant to the Veterinary Medical Center to offset some of the costs of treating and caring for Joey.
"We were both outraged and saddened to hear about this disturbing case of violent abuse, and the callousness that was demonstrated by those responsible," says Matt Bershadker, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "While our ultimate hope is that these types of heinous acts never occur, this is a message that cruelty toward animals will not be tolerated. We are pleased to be in a position to help those who are helping Joey."
If you have information related to Joey's case, please contact the Suffolk County SPCA by calling (631) 382-7722.
Animal cruelty is a crime in every state—if you see something, call 911. Please join our battle against animal cruelty today!
Whoever did this to this animal take him out in back a box truck with nothing but shorts on then when the truck hits about 45 toss his ass out of the back so he can experience the same pain that dog did!!! That is what I think this piece of trash that did this deserves.
Individuals who commit these acts of cruelty to animals can also do this to humans. They are psychologically of depraved mind and most likely continue to do this. Its sad that the victims cannot speak, but we are their voices and we should continue to rally in front of them, behind them and every where we can advocate for them.
When I saw the title, I wanted to cry. Who would do that? A monster? Some monsters are actually kind. Then what word so we have for such filth?
God knows exactly who abused Joey and even if we don't catch him, the abuser has already been sentenced to hell by our Almighty God. Jesus please ease Joey's pain and heal him quickly. Please send him God loving parents.
God Bless Joey - and God Bless the wonderful people that are caring for him and nursing him back to health. Love and well wishes are being sent your way. xoxox
Things like this just break my heart. What is wrong with people? These people will have to answer to Jesus one day and wonder what they will tell him when he asks "Why?" God be with that poor pup
Bless his heart I hope Joey continues on a good path now to recovery and that he finds a very loving furever home as he certainly deserves one.
It's nice of everyone to express 'get well' sentiments here for Joey, but it would be more helpful if everyone would send comments to their Congress persons and to the Suffolk County Police, demanding serious prison time for animal abusers. Too many are just given a slap and a fine.
God almighty! What monsters do this to a darling animal - or to children or the elderly?! What do we have walking among us? I'm looking at that sweet little face and crying now. Anyone who does this deserves a fate even worse, and I would do the deed gladly. Prayers go out to darling Joey, and I hope he recovers and finds a home and hearts to love him.

Springboks coach Peter de Villiers confirmed that Bismarck du Plessis will start against Samoa.
Du Plessis has been in white hot form in recent months, but has had to be content with cameos in the final quarter given De Villiers' loyalty to captain John Smit. He was omitted from the squad to play Namibia, but De Villiers has now revealed he will be in the run-on side for the Test against the islanders next Friday.
'The one thing I can tell you today is that Bissie will start. John needs a rest. He's like Duracell [batteries] at the moment, he just keeps on going. Not that he squeals, but I have to manage him too,' De Villiers said.
The coach also revealed Bakkies Botha has suffered a recurrence of the Achilles tendon. 'He's a worry at the moment. I don't think that Bakkies is where I want him to be,' he said. 'He's such a valuable player in our side but a 90% fit Bakkies won't be good enough. He'll have to be 100 per cent. He's in doubt for Samoa. We'll be guided by the medical team and by Bakkies himself.'
The Springboks struggled in their opener against Wales but easily negotiated the challenge of Fiji and Namibia. Asked to assess where his team stood at this point in the tournament, De Villiers said: 'It's like going on a flight. You know where you want to be but everything up in the air causes you to go off your course. But the main thing is to land safely at the airport and we're on our way to the airport."
Samoa are favoured to beat Fiji in Auckland on Sunday but will hope that Fiji do them a favour when they play Wales next week, then beat the Springboks, in order to progress from the pool. De Villiers was lavish in his praise of the islanders: 'Samoa is actually a revelation in world rugby. They're in the minds of the people. They were a minnow but they're not any more,' he said. 'Samoa is New Zealand's second team. They've been coached like New Zealand, they act like New Zealand, they play like New Zealand.'

SNOW HILL — When the historic Montford Point Marines were honored with Congressional Gold Medals in Washington, D.C., last summer, one of the few surviving members was unable to attend the ceremony because of health conditions.
So it came to him.
The group was the first blacks to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1942 to 1949, which became desegregated a short time later.
Retired Montford Point Marine James B. McGee, 88, was personally honored at a small banquet Sunday, attended by active and retired Marines and family from as far as Bowie, Md.
McGee resides at the Greendale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Snow Hill. His family said he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
He was moved into an event room at the facility for the ceremony that included nearly 30 people.
"I had no idea that so many (people) would show up," said Maya Swinson, one of McGee's granddaughters. "Growing up at his feet, he's always talked to us about his experiences in the military. I know that he can't physically respond to us, but I feel deep down that he knows we are here."
Service members and family congratulated McGee after his wife Ruby D. McGee, 86, accepted the country's highest civilian honor on his behalf.
The couple has been married since 1962; they have eight children and several grandchildren, many who attended Sunday's ceremony.
"It's beautiful that my grandfather was honored," said Yolanda Stewart of Bowie, Md. "Ever since I was a little girl, my grandfather was so proud to be a jarhead. That's all he talked about. He wore his Marine paraphernalia proudly, and he was a true Marine to the core."
Stewart and Swinson said they would always remember their grandfather's old saying, "Don't take no wooden nickels."
Stewart added the historical context made the event significant to witness for her nephews and children, including her 16-year-old son Reggie Stewart.
"People say soldiers who fought in the past, a lot of their wars and battles are usually forgotten and people don't really take it into consideration," he said. "It's nice to see that my great-grandfather is being honored after all the time he fought with other Marines. … I'm proud of what he did and he should be honored."
From 1942-49, nearly 20,000 African-Americans trained at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, the only military base that trained black recruits. They came from across America to make history during the segregated days of World War II. Although they were racially isolated, they still completed the process to earn the name "Marine." About 200 are living today.
The Marines were collectively honored with a CGM on June 27 to join the likes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, Nelson Mandela and the Tuskegee Airmen.
"It's one of the best things that's happened to me in years, to see him finally receive his gold medal," said retired Marine Rich Hensey, who worked on CI90 aircrafts with McGee for three years in 1960. "(It's) awesome for what he went through being a Montford Point Marine."
A new member of the Camp Lejeune chapter of the Montford Point Marine Association — an organization formed to commemorate the Marines, Sgt. Kendrix Graham, was at the ceremony to pay his respects to a pioneer.
"I'm trying to take into consideration and give thanks to the Marines who paved the way for me," he said of his attendance. "If it wasn't for them, then there would be no possible way for us."
McGee served in the military for 30 years and was a member of the Montford Point Marine Association for nearly 20 years. He worked in air conditioning and heating ventilation after his active Marine Corps service. He also participated in the arts as a painter.
"I think he would be overwhelmed," said daughter Ernestine Coward of her father's reaction to the ceremony. "I can hear him say, 'It's about time.'"
Coward, who lives in Kinston, often visits the facility in Snow Hill to check on her father, saying he knows who she is when he scratches his hair.
She added the amazing gesture it was for the Montford Point Marine Association to honor McGee with the presentation.
"He should be recognized," Coward said. "I just thank God for keeping him."

I'd be happy to undertake this for a course or two. I have a good camera and am very good with PhotoShop so cropping, resizing and optimizing images for the web is no problem.
It sounds like Sparrow and Act 04 are doing CV. I could do Iroquois and another course around the Ft. Knox area but I don't have a preference. Just let me know what courses other people are doing and I'll choose from those left.

R packages for the base system have been part of the Debian distribution since 1997, thanks to Douglas Bates, and are diligently maintained by Dirk Eddelbuettel since 2001. R, as well as many add-on packages (from CRAN and others repositories) are available via the regular Debian distribution mechanisms. Hence, running
apt-cache search "^r-.*"
should get you started with a list of available packages.
With an appropriate entry in
(see below according to the branch of Debian used), the newest R
release including recommended packages can be installed using a
command sequence like
apt-get update apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
While updating your package lists you might get a warning about a missing key, telling you that the integrity of packages can not be verified. You can ignore this if you trust the CRAN servers and continue with the installation. Otherwise, please refer to the section on secure apt below.
You only need r-base-dev if you want to compile R packages yourself or other software depending on R (see section below on administration and maintenance). Be aware that you may also have to install build dependencies (typically -dev packages containing headers). The list r-sig-debian is a good place to ask if you run into problems.
You may want to install the automatically tuned Atlas or the multi-threaded OpenBlas library in order to get higher performance for linear algebra operations
apt-get install libatlas3-base
apt-get install libopenblas-base
The R packages part of the
r-recommended packages are installed into the
/usr/lib/R/library. These can be updated
using usual package maintenance tools like apt-get or aptitude.
The other R packages precompiled as Debian
r-cran-* are installed
The command
apt-cache rdepends r-base-core
shows all packages that depend on
r-base-core; this
comprises a large number of contributed packages from CRAN and
other repositories.
If you want to install R packages not provided as Debian packages,
or if you want to use newer versions, you need to build them from
source which requires the development
r-base-dev that can be installed by
apt-get install r-base-dev
This makes sure that you have the basic requirements for compiling R packages. R packages may then be installed by the local user/admin from the CRAN source packages, typically from inside R using the
> install.packages()
function or using
R CMD INSTALL from a shell. If you
have proper write permissions
/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/, and you have not
R_LIBS_USER manually, they will be installed
there. Otherwise, you will be asked if a directory in your home
directory should be created for these packages. A routine update
of such locally compiled packages can be done using
> update.packages(.libPaths()[1])
which will update the packages in the first part of your library path. You can have a look at the components of this part by
> libPaths()
If you would like to update R packages that have been installed
via the Debian package management system which are installed
somewhere under
/usr/lib/, I would recommend to do
this the Debian way using the source packages from Debian
In order to find packages, R looks at the
R_LIBS_SITE. On Debian and
R_LIBS_USER is set
/etc/R/Renviron to
$platform is something
'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' and depending on the
version of R installed. You can override this
R_LIBS_SITE is set in
/etc/R/Renviron to
This means that packages installed from within R take precedence over the ones installed via the Debian package management system if you happen to have two versions installed at the same time.
The latest stable versions of R and R packages are readily available in official Debian SID repositories.
The packages recommended by the R core team
r-recommended) are supported on CRAN. Currently,
these are:
r-cran-boot r-cran-cluster r-cran-class r-cran-codetools r-cran-foreign r-cran-kernsmooth r-cran-lattice r-cran-mass r-cran-matrix r-cran-mgcv r-cran-nlme r-cran-nnet r-cran-rpart r-cran-spatial r-cran-survival
Because they rely on the installed version of R, backports of the following packages are also supplied.
littler r-cran-rodbc python-rpy python-rpy2 (jessie only)) rkward r-cran-jags r-cran-coda (needed for r-cran-rjags)
A backport of the current python-rpy2 package to wheezy (oldstable) and squeeze (oldoldstable) would require a backport of python-singledispatch, which appears to be a bit tricky. Some help would be needed to bring this back to wheezy and squeeze..
After a release of Debian "stable", no new packages get added by Debian to keep the release as 'stable' as possible. This implies that the R release contained in the official Debian release will become outdated as time passes. As a courtesy to the R users on the Debian "stable" platforms, the "stable" directory on CRAN contains so-called 'backports' of the current R binaries for the "stable" distribution of Debian.
For a backport of R 3.2.0 to jessie, simply add something like
deb http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian jessie-cran3/
to the file /etc/apt/sources.list on your computer. You need to substitute <favorite-cran-mirror> by one of the mirror URLs listed in
The milestone release R 3.0.0 published on April 3, 2013 is not compatible with any R packages built on earlier versions. This means that R packages from the Debian wheezy archive do not work under R 3.x.y (this also applies to squeeze alias oldoldstable). This is the source line needed for R 3.x.y on Debian wheezy
deb http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian wheezy-cran3/
Again, you need to substitute <favorite-cran-mirror> by one of the mirror URLs listed in
Of course the R packages
r-cran-* provided here are
compiled using R 3.x.y. Before installing R 3.x.y be sure you do
not rely on loading R packages from Debian wheezy. If unsure,
look at the debs you have installed using
dpkg --get-selections | grep r-cran
and compare with the list of packages supported here (see above, also for a procedure to upgrade packages install locally from source R packages).
This repository also contains backports of tcl8.6, tk8.6 and texinfo for wheezy, as the upstream R 3.2.0 Debian package needs these versions.
Please be aware that the R packages available as binary .deb
packages in wheezy (with names starting with
are not compatible with R 3.x.y. Only a confined number of binary
packages is provided here.
Updating packages installed locally from sources, which you need to do after an upgrade from R 2.x.y to R 3.x.y, is explained below under the section administration and maintenance. What you probably need to do is
> update.packages(.libPaths()[1], checkBuilt=TRUE)
in order to rebuild packages that are installed in addition to the
r-cran-* packages. For other changes in R
see http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/NEWS.html.
The same notes regarding binary compatibility of R packages with R 3.x.y given for oldstable (wheezy) above also apply to squeeze.
As the first backports for squeeze were still from the R 2.x.y series, the backport of R 3.x.y to Debian squeeze is published in a different location (squeeze-cran3) from what whas used before (squeeze-cran), in order to avoid breaking production systems using the R backports from CRAN plus such Debian stable binary packages
In addition, R 3.2.0 is compiled against tcl/tk 8.5 on squeeze, as version 8.6 is not available and my attempt to backport tcl8.6 failed with an error I did not understand. Please let me know if you encounter problems.
The Debian backports archives on CRAN are signed with the key of "Johannes Ranke (CRAN Debian archive) <firstname.lastname@example.com>" with key ID 381BA480. You can fetch and import this with
apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 381BA480
If this doesn't work, it might be due to a firewall blocking port 11371. Alternatively, you can search for 0x381BA480 at http://keyserver.noreply.org/ and copy the key block into a plain text file, named, for instance, jranke_cran.asc wich you add to apt with apt-key add.
There are i386 and amd64 binaries for jessie, wheezy, squeeze. Since R 3.1.0, R is fully functional on arm and armel binaries for jessie and wheezy are provided here as well.
Before R 3.1.0 lazyloading of datasets did not work on arm, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=695411. Thanks to Orion Poplawski from the Fedora project, among others, these issues are now fixed, see https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15087.
For other architectures, you can use the source packages from one of the repositories
deb-src http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran3/ deb-src http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian wheezy-cran3/ deb-src http://<favorite-cran-mirror>/bin/linux/debian jessie-cran3/
to compile binaries. Note that you need to install current
versions of
debhelper and
dpkg-dev in
order to build
r-cran-rjags from the source package
provided in the latter location.
The best place to report problems with these packages or ask R questions specific to Debian is the R-SIG-Debian mailing list. See
for more information.
Anyone interested in building Debian packages (e.g. for an unsupported release, another architecture or an old R version) can have a look at the build scripts used by the current maintainer. These are available anonymously from the Subversion repository
The scripts contain some small changes needed to compile the original Debian packages on the supported release. Note that I did install up to date versions of debhelper and dpkg-dev in the build system for the backports to squeeze.
The Debian R packages are maintained by Dirk Eddelbuettel. The packages present on CRAN for Debian stable, oldstable and oldoldstable are provided by Johannes Ranke. Thanks to Mathieu Basille for restructuring the README in March 2015.

Women's Soccer Holds Clean Sheet in 4-0 Win over Anderson
September 26, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University used four second-half goals en route to a 4-0 clean sheet over Anderson in a Conference Carolinas womens soccer match on Saturday afternoon at a soggy N.E. Lefko Field. With the victory, the Lady Falcons push their overall record to 3-3-3, 1-1-2 in conference action. Anderson falls to 1-6, 1-3.
After a scoreless first 45 minutes of play, Pfeiffer held a 9-6 advantage in shots but Anderson had the 5-3 lead with shots on goal. Jessica Moulton (Huntingtown, MD) led the Lady Falcons with three shots in the half while Larissa Fedorowich (Mississauga, ONTARIO) led Anderson with three. The best opportunity went to the hosts as Moulton fired a shot late in the period that was knocked down by Trojan keeper Kelli Whitfield (Anderson, SC).
Freshman Sheena Regan (Chesapeake, VA) put the Lady Falcons on the board with a tap-in during the 55th minute of play. Ashleigh Rhoads (Palm Bay, FL) and Vanessa Gallegos (Cheyenne, WY) picked up the assists. After the initial goal, the Lady Falcons put three more on the board in just under four minutes.
Sam Brown put home her third of the year on a 1-on-1 tap in against Whitfield thanks to a long pass from Alyssa Wombwell (Grand Blanc, MI) in the 75th minute. 90 seconds later, Brianne Cleary (Huntingtown, MD) took an intercepted pass by Wombell to tally her first of the season. Wombwell then finished things off herself in the 79 minute with a header from Ashley Hawkins (Madison, NC) cross.
Larissa Fedorowich (Mississauga, ONTARIO) led the Trojans with six shots total, three on goal. Lady Falcon goalkeeper Suzie Hinman (Idaho Falls, ID) kept the clean sheet intact stopping seven shots on the day. The Lady Falcons will now take a step out of conference play in a road matchup at Chowan on Wednesday afternoon. Game time is set for 4:00 p.m.

A Consecutive Pass is for use on consecutive days, so for example if you buy a 4 day Consecutive Pass and start your pass on a Monday, it is then valid until Thursday.
A BritRail Flexi Pass can be used over a period of 1 calendar month. So if you started using a 4 day Flexi Pass on the 23 March you then have 3 remaining other days that you can use your pass until the 22 April inclusive.
Where do I activate / validate my Britrail pass?
Before you can start to use your BritRail Pass you must have it activated. To do this, please take along your BritRail Pass and your ID (preferably a passport) to the ticket office at the train station you wish to make your first journey from. The ticket staff will then activate your pass for you. You can then board the train and, if asked, please show your ticket to the ticket inspector. You must fill in the date on your ticket of any journey before boarding a train.
Can I use my BritRail Pass on the Eurostar?
BritRail Passes are not valid on Eurostar services between London and Brussels or Paris. If you have a BritRail pass, you are eligible to buy discounted 'Passholder' tickets for Eurostar services. You can buy these either at a Eurostar terminal or over the phone: 08432 186 186 or +44 (0) 1233 617 575. Your BritRail pass does not need to be activated on the day you travel on Eurostar.

Do I need to make seat reservations?
It is not essential to reserve seats on all trains. Generally speaking it is only really necessary to make reservations if you plan to travel on a popular route (e.g. London to Edinburgh) at a peak time (e.g. Friday at 18.00). To make a reservation with a BritRail Pass you need to take your BritRail Pass to the station that you are going to travel from and the travel centre will make the seat reservations for you (for a small fee)
How many train journeys can I make on one day?
You can make as many journeys as you like in one day. The passes are restricted by days, not journeys. A day is classified as one calendar day – not 24 hours from the start of the journey. You therefore need to commence your last journey of the day before midnight.
Can I use my BritRail Pass on the Heathrow/Gatwick/Stansted Express?
Yes you can, but please be aware that this will be considered as a day of travel. Not valid on airport transfers by bus

You can book for services up to 12 weeks in advance, and choose from seated or berth accommodation. ScotRail can be contacted on 0044 8457 55 00 33. You will need your BritRail Pass number to do this. We will supply you this number on booking your pass.
If I leave London Euston on, say, Monday at 21.45 on the Caledonian Sleeper and arrive at Fort William at 09.54 on Tuesday, does that count as two days travel on the BritRail Flexipass?
No, it only counts for the day you finish the journey
Is there a tour guide included?
No, there are no tour guides on BritRail trains.
Can I buy food and drink on trains in the UK?
Most trains in the UK have either a shop or a trolley service on board. Virgin trains sell sandwiches, snacks and drinks.

Cat Parathyroid Tumor
Cat Parathyroid Tumor
Owning a cat comes with many responsibilities and costs. One of those costs is caring for a sick cat, especially when their illness is due in part to a type of Cat Cancer. One of the common forms of cancer in cats is parathyroid tumors. Parathyroid tumors, once found, are usually benign, which means they cannot kill the cat since they are not malignant. A parathyroid tumor can cause a cat to have an increase in thirst and an increase in urination. Once the tumor has been found and surgery has been performed, the prognosis for the cat is usually very good.
There are no particular breeds of cats that are more prone to parathyroid tumors. Ten percent of cats affected by parathyroid tumors will have multiple tumors in their body. Because the tumors are mostly benign they will not spread to other areas of the cat's body.
Signs and Symptoms
Aside from Cat Increased Urination and Cat Increased Thirst, other symptoms of parathyroid tumors include the following:
•Poor appetite or Cat Loss of Appetite
•Straining to urinate
•Inability to pass urine
•Blood in the urine
Treatment Options
Parathyroid tumors are located in the neck, which means they can usually be easy to feel in cats that develops them. If your cat has been diagnosed with a parathyroid tumor, surgery is the best treatment option. Once surgery is complete, painkillers will be prescribed to help your cat to breathe and sleep more comfortably. Make sure you limit your cat's activities for at least three weeks following the surgery.
Some cats that are diagnosed with a parathyroid tumor and subsequently have it removed, will also suffer from low calcium levels, which can be fatal if not treated immediately. Symptoms of low calcium levels include the following:
•Rubbing of the face
•Dilation of the pupils
•Loss of an appetite
•Twitching muscles
Following the surgery, your cat may experience trouble with bowel movements for various reasons that may include the following:
•Cat had to fast prior to surgery and has an empty stomach
•The cat did not eat well during the hospital stay
•The cat does not eat well upon returning home
•The cat is fed food that is highly digestible, which means they do not have much stool
•The cat is taking pain medication that causes Cat Constipation
Make sure that you do not let your cat lick the area where the surgery took place. Licking the area of the surgery can cause multiple problems such as:
•Incision can open
•Stitches can be removed
•Licking can turn into a habit that can be difficult to break
•A cat's mouth has a lot of bacteria and licking can cause an infection of the surgery area
Prevent licking by using a cervical collar, which can prevent your cat from getting their tongue on the surgery area.

Results vs. Mars Hill (2009-03-24 15:00:00)
March 24, 2009Mars Hill, NC -- The No. 24 Pfeiffer University Falcons fell 11-8 to Mars Hill College in non-conference action on Tuesday afternoon.
The second inning saw the competitors trade two-out three run homeruns. Pfeiffer's Preston Lyon (Gastonia, NC) opened up the scoring in the top of the frame by hitting a homerun off Lion's starter Chad Jarvis (Clemmons, NC). Mike Dobre (Pompano Beach, FL) answered with one of his own in the bottom half of the second to tie the score at 3-3.
Pfeiffer went up 4-3 in the third when Zach Pou (Stanley, NC) scored on a sacrifice fly by Brandon Rouse (Kinston, NC), but MHC tied the game in the bottom of the fourth inning when Devin Presnell (Boone, NC) hit a sacrifice fly to plate Patrick Davidson (Swannanoa, NC).
The Falcons went back on top, 8-4, in the top of the sixth inning. Lyon singled to left field to score Rouse and then Josh Strickland (Liberty, NC) doubled to drive in Julian Medina (Glen Cove, NY) and Jesse Dunn (Easley, SC). Eric Shoemaker (Huntersville, NC) then hit a sacrifice fly to right field to plate Lyon.
Brian Williams (Orlando, FL) cut the score to 8-6 in the sixth when he singled home Dobre and Presnell. In the seventh MHC cut into the lead once again with a single run as Brandon Savoca (Riegelwood, NC) doubled home Corry DiBiase (Orlando, FL).
The Lions took an 11-8 lead in the bottom of the eighth. Davidson tied the game when he singled up the middle to plate Mike Kitt (West Islip, NY). Savoca then drove in what proved to be the game winner by hitting a single to left field, scoring DiBiase. Dalton Hardee (Boone, NC) added an insurance run with an infield single that allowed Davidson to cross the plate.
Eric Shuford (Shelby, NC) took the loss (0-1) for the Falcons on the mound. Preston Lyon led Pfeiffer at the plate going 3-4 with four RBI and a homerun. Brandon Rouse stayed hot for the Falcons by adding two hits of his own and an RBI.
Matt Dameron (Mt. Holly, NC) picked up the win (2-0) pitching 1.2 innings in relief. Dobre and Davidson led MHC at the plate going 3-4. Dobre added a homerun and three RBI. DiBiase also recorded three hits and scored three times.
The Falcons return home on Friday to open up a Conference Carolinas series against the visiting Flying Fleet of Erskine College.

BGSU, Kent State Celebrate Centennial on May 19Posted May, 17, 2010
This is a landmark year in the history of Bowling Green State University and Kent State University. One hundred years ago on May 19, 1910, the Lowry Bill was passed, creating two new teachers' colleges in northern Ohio.
Both schools will be honored during a luncheon and special program on Wednesday, May 19, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Ohio Statehouse Atrium in Columbus.
Since those early days, both schools have made significant changes. BGSU has transformed from a teacher-training school to a university with more than 200 undergraduate majors and programs with strengths in technology, liberal arts and sciences. Kent State is Northeast Ohio's leading public research university and the third largest university system in Ohio with eight campuses and more than 38,000 students. Kent State has produced 196,000 graduates, with 68 percent of living alumni residing in Ohio.
Attending will be BGSU President Carol Cartwright, Kent State President Lester A. Lefton, Vice Chancellor John Brighton and Inter-University Council of Ohio President Bruce Johnson.
The Ohio House of Representatives and Senate will also present resolutions recognizing both schools.

very flattering This top is so cute with skinny jeans and comes in at the waist and goes out to give that perfect shape you are looking for. September 18, 2013
Looks Great!! I love the peplum look and this top is very slenderizing. The back zipper adds some fun, too! September 17, 2013
cute on everyone but me I have the great pleasure of having a long torso and short legs, which makes me average high, but I have to wear tall tops. The shirt was almost perfect, but the peplum part starts right under my breast, it should be lower. If I get a bigger size it would be too roomy. So sure its cute, but if your torso is long then it might sit right. September 14, 2013
Peplum Frenzy!! I have this tank in both the fluro yellow and strawberry and they are some of my absolute favorite shirts. The look is very flattering and I love how the peplum style is not too over the top but still a nice little flare to any outfit! September 11, 2013
Simple, Yet Sassy Peplum tops are so flattering and this one is great! I have the hot pink one and I wear it with rolled jeans or long skinny jeans and high heeled sandals. It's easy to wear, trendy and flattering. September 10, 2013

National team competitions
21-11, 24-23, 15-18, 17-17
Gaz Metan Medias upset the odds to pull off a much-needed 77-69 win and end the unbeaten record of Pinar Karsiyaka in Group I of the EuroChallenge Last 16.
Karsiyaka may have been cruising at the top of the group but they were also reeling from an early exit from the Turkish Cup last week, and they ran into a Medias team playing with all the urgency needed to get them off the foot of the Group I standings.
Medias went to work early, and nine unanswered points powered them into a 21-9 lead on Ivan Lilov's lay-up late in the first quarter.
They continued to pull away early in the second and Rares Mandache's lay-up midway through the period gave them their largest lead of the game, 38-20.
Pride kicked in for Karsiyaka as they rallied with a 14-5 run, closing it up to 43-34 on a William Thomas dunk shortly before half-time.
They did their best to chip away in the third quarter, but got no closer than seven, with Thomas' free throws closing it to 45-38 at the 7:43 mark in the period.
Medias' response was swift, and Ivan Ivanovic dunked to follow up Lilov's three and it was 56-40.
Karsiyaka's heads looked to drop as Medias continued to edge away, but there was a sting in the tail as a 12-0 Karsiyaka run closed the gap to 74-69 with 33 seconds left.
However, Jon Diebler's jump-shot proved to be their final points of the game as Medias saw it out from the line.
Lilov led Medias with 15 points while Mandache had 14, Ivanovic 12, Zoran Krstanovic 11 and Aleksandar Mladenovic 10.
Thomas poured in 28 points while grabbing 14 rebounds for Karsiyaka, while Robert Dixon and Can Mustaf added 11 each.
Pinar Karsiyaka head coach Ufuk Sarica:"I want to congratulate the home team. We couldn't find our rhythm; we had a bad start in the game. We prepared this game to win it, but on the court we didn't make the necessary things to achieve that. That means we have work to do and fix the problems until next game."
Pinar Karsiyaka player Jon Diebler:"It was a tough game for us. We knew that Medias is a hard place to play, they have a good record here at home. Gaz Metan played extremely hard tonight and we didn't have an answer for it. We tried to come back in the game, but as I said they played really hard."
Gaz Metan Medias head coach Marcel Tenter:"We succeeded to set our rhythm in the first 20 minutes. We scored easy points; we had over 40 points in the first half of the game against a very good defense. I think that counted a lot. In the second half we had a good intensity and also we succeeded to defend [Robert] Dixon closely. This victory, it's an event for us."
Gaz Metan Medias player Ivan Lilov:"I still don't have an explication for this game, how it feels to win a game like this. We played really hard, we did what the coach said and I think it was one of our best games."

DeKalb Sign, about 1990
In the early 1900s, hybrid seed (a cross between two or more natural varieties) was a revolutionary concept, but farmers had to be convinced to buy seed rather than save seed from the previous year's harvest. In 1936 DeKalb introduced the winged ear logo and a clever ad campaign. Called a "mortgage lifter" the hybrid seed promised to produce such bountiful corn harvests that farmer's debts would fly away.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Defensive line coach Jim Washburn was fired Monday, the latest shakeup for the sinking Philadelphia Eagles.
Coach Andy Reid dismissed the abrasive Washburn, a Shelby native and GWU graduate, just hours after the team's eighth straight loss, 38-33 at the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Former defensive line coach Tommy Brasher will replace Washburn.
This was the third major move on defense in seven weeks. Defensive coordinator Juan Castillo was fired on Oct. 16. Two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Babin was released last week.
The Eagles (3-9) are mired in their worst losing streak since 1968 and searching for answers after opening the season with Super Bowl aspirations.
"I think it's the best thing for the Philadelphia Eagles and this football team that I made that move," Reid said. "This was a move that I made. Nobody else made this move. This isn't a move to save my job. This is a move that I think needed to be done now, and so I did it now."
Reid is assured of just his third losing season in 14 years, and could be coaching his final games in
Regardless, Reid has one year left on his contract and is proceeding with important decisions. After firing Washburn, Reid said rookie Nick Foles would be the starting quarterback the rest of the season, even when Michael Vick returns from a concussion.
Washburn's dismissal wasn't entirely a surprise. Washburn was known for having a strong personality and being confrontational with other coaches. He had to be separated from offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg on the sideline during a game against
One player, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that Washburn often was "disrespectful" to other staff members, particularly Castillo.
"I would just tell you that there were things that I was disappointed in and as time went on I just thought it was the right thing to do right now for this football team," Reid said. "It was just something that I had been pondering and working through."
Washburn was hired on Jan. 19, 2011 after 12 seasons in
Washburn's linemen accounted for 46 of those 50 sacks in 2011, including 18 from Babin and 11 from Trent Cole. But Babin had 5½ this year before he was cut last Tuesday, just 1½ years into a $28 million, five-year contract. Babin was claimed off waivers by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Washburn wasn't pleased with the decision to part with Babin and reportedly threatened to quit. So Reid fired him.
"I don't want to see anybody get fired, but I kind of think from the inside looking out you knew they wanted to do that, especially after our bye week there," Babin told reporters in
Reid said he cut Babin to give more playing time to younger players. Brandon Graham, a 2010 first-round pick, started in Babin's spot and had 1½ sacks against
Overall, the line's inability to pressure quarterbacks has made it disastrous for the pass defense. Quarterbacks have picked apart the secondary, especially in the six games since Todd Bowles replaced Castillo.
Tony Romo finished 22 for 27 for 303 yards and three touchdowns for the Cowboys, becoming the sixth straight quarterback to post a passer rating of at least 120.0 against the Eagles. The defense has allowed 16 touchdown passes and has zero interceptions in the last six games.
Reid, though, made it clear the loss to
"It wasn't all about this game," he said. "He's a good football coach and I think it was just maybe a give and take. He's had a great career and he's going to have a great career. That just didn't quite work the way I wanted it to work."
Brasher served as
"Having Tommy Brasher back here again brings back a very loyal, loyal assistant coach that I've had here for a number of years, who understands exactly what I'm about and what I'm trying to get done with a young defensive line," Reid said.

I really enjoy this fellow's story.
I've seen some ex-Muslims write testimonials with something as simple and pointless as leaving Islam because they 'found Jesus' or had one bad experience that could have happened in any setting. Him initially being a convert aside, his story has a lot of parallels to my own in terms of his reasons and even in terms of newer interests (skeptical Buddhism for example). I encourage people to check this out.

Sidewalk shortage creates unsafe passage for students
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Mia Tukey, 11, (in green) and Jessica Purcell, 10, walk down 51st Avenue SE to Seattle Hill Elementary School on Friday morning. Neighborhood students walking to school have to walk down 51st Avenue SE where the sidewalks are piecemeal -- only partial stretches on each side of the road feature sidewalks.
The morning route to Seattle Hill Elementary involves bouncing from one side of the road to the other. Purcell guided a flock of 10- to 12-year-olds on a winding path to take advantage of sidewalks and road shoulders.
"Either you do a zig-zag thing or you pick a side" of the street, Purcell said.
Seattle Hill, southeast of Everett, shares a similar sidewalk shortage with 33 other elementary schools in unincorporated Snohomish County. Safety worries are particularly acute in neighborhoods -- like the one surrounding Seattle Hill -- where suburban development has overtaken a rural street grid.
Some help appears to be on the way for Seattle Hill, and soon after for other schools.
County road engineers recently increased their efforts to build sidewalks and widen shoulders near local schools. Before they start construction, they're meeting with transportation officials from eight local school districts to identify where safer walkings areas can make the most impact given limited dollars.
"We're looking at every elementary school in unincorporated Snohomish County," county engineer Owen Carter said.
The undertaking is tied to County Executive John Lovick's proposed 2014 budget. Lovick calls it the most-exciting project he's worked on in more than 40 years of public service, most of it in police uniform.
"All you need to do is go to a PTA meeting," he said. "They talk about a lot of things, but safety of their kids is the No. 1 thing they'll discuss."
The executive said it's wrong to make young children walk to school along unsafe routes.
Improving the situation won't be easy, or quick.
Within a mile of the elementary schools in the county's unincorporated areas, there are a combined 430 miles of roadway without adequate sidewalks or shoulders, Carter said.
That's particularly significant because students generally don't have bus service if they live less than a mile from school.
"We have a big project ahead of us, but we're enthusiastically ready to attack it," Carter said.
Lovick's budget calls for raising road taxes to start fixing the problem. A proposed 1 percent hike in the county roads levy would generate an extra $550,000 per year to improve walking routes near schools. That would cost the owner of a house assessed at $250,000 about $4.50 more per year in property tax.
The county also will look to supplement tax dollars with state and federal grants.
For now, four road engineers are looking at school pedestrian projects they can design in time for the 2014 construction season. They hope to prepare a list by spring.
Over the past few years, the county has worked on about a dozen pedestrian-improvement projects around schools near 128th Street SE, south of Everett. The county also recently filled in sidewalk gaps near Kokanee Elementary School in Maltby.
For the upcoming work, county engineers want to fill gaps in sidewalks or widen shoulders measuring less than four feet wide.
"Ultimately we would want to put sidewalks in, however that's big money," Carter said.
They're likely to weigh several factors to decide which projects to do first: the number of children who walk the route; the speed limit and average daily number of vehicles on the adjacent roadway; and cost.
Small, but well-traveled sidewalk and shoulder gaps might be good targets to hit first, Carter said.
Seattle Hill Elementary Principal Paula Nelson said pedestrian safety for her students has been a topic of discussion since she started working at the school.
"This is my 12th year and this is one of the first things" people brought up, she said.
Of biggest concern is the lack of sidewalks on 51st Street SE, directly in front of the school.
For years, Nelson and parents have sought the county's help, mostly without success.
The situation is on track to improve next year, at least somewhat.
Snohomish County plans to install more than 300 feet of new sidewalk along 51st Street, starting work after school lets out next year. The new sidewalk is planned to run north from the school entrance on the east side of 51st Street. The estimated cost is about $200,000.
"We're going to wait until after school's out so we don't interfere with the children's walking routes," Carter said.
Until then, many parents will opt to take their children by car, or accompany them for a morning stroll. As Purcell, the Seattle Hill mother noted, "You don't see a lot of kids showing up without a parent with them."

We are 23 days away from the NBA Draft and we've already seen the Wolves invite 26 different players into Minneapolis to have a gander at what they can possibly add to this organization.
For the most part, we've seen players that probably aren't good enough to be taken with the 18th pick in the draft and yet too good to fall to the 58th pick in the draft. This makes it a bit hard to construct our draft board. However, I'm going to attempt to do just that.
A lot of times, you'll see a draft board for a team that includes anybody you'd like to see on the roster. You're picking out names that you hope fall to the Wolves or any given team and hopeful that they'll take a look at these prospects. Our draft board at AWAW will be a bit different. We're only going to rank those that have come through for workouts and try to figure it out from there.
It's too early to have a good idea of the actual options that will be there three weeks from now, especially considering we haven't even had the Draft Combine yet (June 6-10, and on ESPNU at 9am on 6/7). In both of the Mock Drafts since the lottery unfolded, Chad Ford has the Wolves taking Austin Rivers at 18. But we won't really know how likely that is until much closer to the draft and if the Wolves end up working him out.
So here is the AWAW Draft Board for 2012 considering only the players that have been brought in so far and it will be updated as more workouts happen for our beloved T'Pups: Continue Reading…
