Women and Politics and Winning
By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren
It's often been said of the legislative process that (like sausage-making) it's best not to watch.
Now just imagine the process of getting a candidate elected.
There must be something fun about it, because Cathy Allen keeps doing it.
She is the president and owner of The Connections Group in Seattle and the veteran of many a political campaign.
Allen works primarily to get women elected and connected to the political process.
She joins us with stories from the campaign trail.

Pacific Fair / Harbour Town., Gold Coast
10 Reviews
10 Reviews
Pacific Fair is Australia's largest shopping mall with 3 major department stores, a supermarket and some 300 specialty stores which include anything that is fashionable or franchised.
There are also some banks, medical services, a post office, cafes, bars and restaurants. For kids there is a themed play park and parking is easy with over 5000 free carparks.
In short it's an open air and undercover retail lover's therapy paradise.
Harbour Town Shopping Centre, located on the northern end of the Gold Coast is just one big bargain bin for shopping addicts like myself. Comprising of mostly brand name outlets, this place is a shoppers paradise. It is a policy of Harbour Town that all stores *must* have a certain percentage of their stock on sale otherwise they can kiss goodbye their lease!
Best time to go is first thing in the morning (especially if visiting on the weekend) to grab yourself the best bargains, a good car park and beat the mad rush of tourists.
What to buy: If you in to save a penny or to splurge away your holiday spending money, then coming here is a must. Harbour Town has shopping for everyone ranging from Nike and Adidas outlets to Pumpkin Patch, Esprit, Tommy Hilfinger, Diesel, Sheriden, Oroton and Ralph Lauren (my favourite).
There are shops that sell clothing, shoes, jewellery, handbags, sunglasses *takes a breath* kitchen wear, framing, pet supplies, art supplies, manchester etc etc etc!
If you cannot find yourself a bargain here, then you haven't got your eyes open!
What to pay: Obviously prices vary between store to store but for example, you can expect to pay approximately $50AUD for a Ralph Lauren polo shirt. Explains why my cupboard is stocked with them :)
If you are tourist to the Gold Coast make sure you pop into Habour Town's VIP Tourism Lounge to obtain your free Tourism Club Card which entitles you to further discounts to particular stores and restaurants. A lot of tourists are unaware of this service but make sure you do it because it can entitle to you up to another 50% off store prices!
I love shopping here!
Its located in Helensvale just before you hit the Gold Coast from Brisbane. Its a massive shopping complex with discount designer or brand name gear.
You can get your surf clothing here (billabong, ripcurl etc); homewares; books; electronics; shoes; kids wear; mens suit; right up to brands like Gucci and Prada. Definately something for everyone!
What to buy: Definately get your Gucci togs from here! And this is also where you get purchase great Australian designer clothing like Lisa Ho!!!
Guys and Girls will love the cheap surf gear.
What to pay: There is a MASSIVE price range here!!! You can seriously get tops/ shirts/ skirts from like $5 (sometimes less) or buy into the thousands for designer dresses, but still much less than standard retail price.

"Pac Fair" is the most popular shopping centre on the Gold Coast, for locals and tourists alike. You will find almost anything you are looking for here, from clothes, food to home entertainment.
I don't recommend going there if your looking for a bargain, just top line brands at top dollar prices. If you want bargains go to the outlet and seconds stores.

Take Action! Let's take big cats off the menu An Arizona restaurant was serving lion burgers and receiving loads of publicity for it. This has also been documented in FL, IL and PA. Though the idea of this is shocking to most, what's really going on is much deeper. The FDA, not the USDA, is charged with the responsibility of inspecting suppliers like Czimer's Game & Sea Foods, the butcher who sold lion meat to this Arizona restaurant. "FDA inspected" may reassure you, but it shouldn't because this butcher served 6 months in federal prison and was fined for his role in a secretive, multibilliondollar underground animal trading ring. Czimer was convicted of purchasing the carcasses of 16 federally-protected tigers, 4 lions, 2 mountain lions, and 1 liger that Cameron the lion he sold as uninspected "lion" meat. These animals were all killed while confined in trailers or cages, not farm raised and free range roaming. While a lion burger may sound like something different to try, if you eat one make no mistake - you are fueling this underground world of illegal exotic animal murder and trade. But what's the connection between lion burgers and petting, holding or posing for a picture with a lion or tiger cub? Since lions are now a threatened species and have dwindled to about 20,000 left in Africa today (as opposed to 450,000 just 50 years ago), it's doubtful that this lion meat is coming from Africa. Quite the opposite, previous investigations have shown that lion meat was being bred and raised right here in the US. When you see cute lion or tiger cubs on display to pet or take photographs with, have you thought about where they end up when they grow up and become too dangerous or expensive to house? For many reasons, we have to turn away about 50 big cats per year - and they aren't going to accredited sanctuaries. The fear is that many, if not most, may end up as exotic game meats. With so few FDA inspectors available, it's quite possible that tiger meat is still being passed off as unregulated lion meat. This is something we must stop! You can help put an end to this. By banning the breeding of big cats in the private sector, it would make it impossible for the dealers in the US to acquire and sell this meat. It would put an end to the horrible suffering and deaths we know are happening throughout the country everyday. Please take a moment to sign and send the pre-written letter to your federal lawmakers asking for a ban on the breeding, buying and selling of big cats in the US (other than AZA zoos).

Their mother had been shot and they were taken by the hunter to be raised as pets. This man took the three kittens to an animal clinic to seek guidance on how to raise them. The clinic in turn found Big Cat Rescue on the internet and we agreed to rescue the three and raise them for release back into the wild. When the kittens arrived they were about 10 days old. Their eyes were just starting to open. We estimate that they were born on or around April 15th. In order to raise these orphaned bobcat kittens with as little human contact as possible, ensuring their successful rehabilitation, Rescuers recruited a domestic cat to adopt and nurse the kittens. Thanks to Suncoast Animal League a perfect surrogate, Bobbi, was found. Bobbi spent several months with the bobcat kittens. She nursed and bathed them when they were little and as they grew she played with them and taught them how to hunt. week just for their food. If you figure these three kittens will spend a year of their life in the rehabilitation program their total food bill will be almost $2,000! (You can make a donation towards their care on the order form on page 10) After nearly three and a half months of rearing this wild brood Bobbi's work was finished. She will now be adopted out to a loving home where she can retire from her bobcat rescuing days. Midnight, Rain, and Storm have transformed dramatically over the past four months from tiny rolly poly balls of fluff to wobbly fuzzy kittens to young sleek miniature bobcats (at about 7lbs each they are half the weight they will be once they are full grown). All three have learned how to hunt successfully thanks to the use of a special feeding system designed by Big Cat Rescuers. Each kitten eats one large rat six nights a week. At $2 per rat that's $36 per Midnight, Rain, and Storm will continue purr-fecting their hunting and social skills throughout the fall and winter before their eventual release next spring. For updates on their progress and photos visit our Facebook Fan Page. Bellona the Bobcat Bellona was rescued on Thanksgiving weekend. She had been hit by a car and left for dead. Her rear leg had been so badly broken she required a complicated surgery that entailed inserting permanent pins and screws inside her leg to help the bone heal. Bellona had a long recovery ahead of her and as the months passed she only intermittently relied on her repaired leg for support. While she was able to get around and even catch live prey fine on three legs it was not an ideal situation. evaluate the healing of her bone. It was discovered that one of the pins had bent and was putting pressure on her knee cap which would explain why she was not using a leg that should have had sufficient time to heal. Another surgery to repair her knee was the only solution. This procedure was more than $1,000. (If you would like to make a donation towards the big cat medical fund fill out the order form on page 10) After her surgery Bellona spent a month in the onsite Cat Hospital and then two weeks each in rehab enclosures graduating in size from small to medium. She is now back in her former 1800 square foot rehab enclosure where Rescuers will monitor her recovery via security cameras.

I am dripping sweat!" were Big Cat Rescue President Jamie Veronica's first words when she called in to Rescuers eagerly standing by to notify them she and the new serval were on their way home to Big Cat Rescue. Thanks to many of you who responded to the alert we sent out a few months ago, we were able to rescue this serval when her owner had been Baker acted and later died. The serval (who neighbors had reported was a lion) had been left behind in a cramped, 2 bedroom condo and Big Cat Rescue had been called in to remove her. Easier said than done. Jamie relayed the terrors of being trapped in a hall with a VERY MAD, very large serval. Stand Up For Animals is Animal Control in Marathon, FL and they had taken a very large dog kennel in for Servie the serval to get used to. The plan was to feed her in the carrier, and shut the door... She wasn't having any part of that plan. Instead she hunkered down in a bedroom and challenged anyone to come near her. There were just too many places in the bedroom to avoid being netted, so Jamie opted to usher her into the hall after blocking the exit with the big carrier and all of the pillows in the house. Easy enough, right? Just quietly crowd her into the waiting darkness and luxury of the softly bedded carrier...no dice. Unsure of the carrier, Servie stood her ground and refused to enter. Face to face in the tiny hallway with this wild animal Jamie stood by patiently awaiting her opportunity to capture the cat. Servie peeked her head in the door of the carrier and Jamie used the net to nudge her in, swinging the door closed with her shoe. Good thing too, as paws and claws snatched wildly at the shoe. Those skinny little serval legs fit through the tiniest holes! It's hard to understand why people think they can make pets out of cats like servals and Savannahs. At Big Cat Rescue, when Servie saw the huge Cat-a-tat, complete with den, bushes, trees, grass, birds and exciting neighbors you could just tell she was a little sheepish about putting up such a fuss. This was paradise by comparison! Servie has settled in nicely at Big Cat Rescue. She has a large 1,800 square foot enclosure and plenty of serval neighbors.

So today, as I thought about all that she endured as a captive born bobcat, who was torn from her mother, raised as a pet, abandoned at auction to the highest bidder and who spent the last 18 years in a cage, I couldn't help but marvel at what an indomitable little spirit she was. She inspired us to save cats like her. She inspired visitors to give up their social lives and become volunteers. She inspired an entire movement that went beyond providing sanctuary to ending the problem at its root. I only regret that I was not able to bring her the good news that we had ended the trade before she died. I can barely stand the thought of yet one more cat dying before we can celebrate that law that will end the breeding and abuse. I feel honored to have known her and shed tears of admiration for all she has taught us and inspired us to do. Every one of these cats has done the same thing. They have given of themselves and inspired us to all be better people. It hurts so bad to see them age and die and sometimes I wonder how much more I can stand. I hear our volunteers saying the same thing. Despite how much our hearts bleed with each loss, those of us who are still here and still committed to the cats can take some comfort in knowing that we have proven ourselves to be strong enough. We are their freedom fighters and we have to be strong, for those who will "stay on our minds," for those who are still in our care, and for those yet to come to Big Cat Rescue, until we return to them the freedom of their birthright. SOPHIA was rescued in January of 2009. Thirteen years prior she had been purchased by a taxidermy sculptor to be used as a live model. She spent the next thirteen years in a coop roughly 50 square feet in size with a concrete floor. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries had been notified of the cougar and seized the cat. Sophia spent the last year and a half of her life at Big Cat Rescue where she had an enclosure that was approximately 1,800 square feet of natural surroundings with a large cave den. Keepers paid extra special attention to Sophia each and every day making her final nineteen months the best time of her life Towards the end her quality of life had suffered greatly due to her advancing arthritis and kidney failure. She was 18 years old. CATERA was born at Big Cat Rescue on 7/24/97. His parents Indian Summer and Shiloh came to the sanctuary as a bonded pair who had lived together for seven years and never reproduced. Unexpectedly Indian Summer gave birth to three kittens. Three days later she began killing her kittens. Catera was rescued just in time, but not before he sustained injuries resulting in brain damage. Catera was a special needs cat from that day on. He was a very happy bobcat and loved to chat with his keepers. Sadly, just as unexpectedly as he had come into this world, he slipped away in his sleep on August 10, 2010.

It is with great sadness that we must say goodbye to these three wonderful cats. The decision to euthanize a cat does not come easy. However, in the case of two of these cats, it was the most humane action that could be taken. YOUR WINDSONG STAYS ON MY MIND - Big Cat Rescue Founder, Carole Baskin WINDSONG was in the final stages of renal failure according to her blood work. She had been diagnosed last December and treated for her advanced arthritis and given fluids, but the treatment only bought her another six months. Now she was wasting away, feeling too nauseous to eat regularly and was beginning to get mouth ulcers that come along with advanced renal failure. I could delay making this awful choice, pump her full of fluids and painkillers again and hope for a few more months, but that would only delay the inevitable. Windsong was 18 and there was no way to turn back the clock and time's ravages on her little body. She was already asleep while we were doing the blood work, so I asked Dr. Wynn to end her life before she had to suffer even one more day of feeling awful. It was very peaceful as her spirit left her frail little "cat suit." I have never cried so much and wondered out loud to (BCR President) Jamie as to why? I believe that we are all eternal and come into and out of form for reasons that we signed up for in advance. I believe that each of us comes here to learn and to teach and to work together for a perfect existence. I don't miss the cats or the people I have loved who have died because I feel them in and around me all the time, so what are all these tears? Jamie responded, "Because Windsong is an icon. She is the reason that this sanctuary exists. She started all of this and now she's gone and it feels like something bigger than life has slipped away from us." I thought back to the first time I saw her. It was on Nov. 5, 1992 (the date we celebrate as the birth of the sanctuary) when her owner carried her into the ring of an exotic animal auction. She had her paws wrapped so tightly around his neck. Her liquid gold eyes were exaggerated in her terror at all of the loud noises and the auctioneer bellowing over the loud speakers that surrounded her. Her eyes caught mine and I began to cry. I heard a song in my head from back in the 80's for a perfume; "I can't seem to forget you. Your Wind Song stays on my mind." I couldn't quit staring through my tears into her precious little face. I heard Don bidding on her. A bobcat only had a "retail value" of about $160.00 but I heard the bidding go up over $775.00 and Don was not the latest bid. The auctioneer said, SAD FAREWELL TO THREE SPECIAL FELINES 6 The Big CaT Times - FaLL 2010 - firstname.lastname@example.com - 813.920.4130 - FoLLow us aT hTTP://TwiTTeR.Com/BigCaTResCue CONGRESSWOMAN CASTOR CO-SPONSORS FOUR MORE ANIMAL BILLS By Howard Baskin, Advisory Board Chairman In late July Carole and I made our annual trip to Washington D.C. to attend the Taking Action or Animals conference hosted by The Humane Society of the United States. The greatest impact that people who care about animals can have is to help change the laws to end abuse. We highly recommend this conference to anyone interested in doing the most they possibly can for animals by advocating stronger laws to protect them. During the weekend of the conference we attended lectures on animal issues, current legislative efforts, and classes on how to be most effective in our advocacy of animal laws. Just being surrounded by close to 1000 people who care so much about animals is, in itself, a wonderfully recharging experience. Then, on Monday, along with hundreds of others, we visited our legislators to ask their support for current animal protection legislation. In this effort we focus on current legislation involving all animals, not just big cats, although when there are bills affecting big cats we give them special emphasis. We were delighted in our last issue of the Big Cat Times to report to you that before the conference, when we asked our Representative Kathy Castor to co-sponsor the Fur Labeling Act (H.R. 2480), she threw her support behind this bill. The bill closes a loophole that allows garments containing fur under $150 in value to go unlabeled. Without labels, fur from dogs and cats, some of whom are skinned alive, can be imported without detection, and those of us who do not want to support the "fur trade" by buying real fur have no way to know if that is what we are buying. We were thrilled when this bill passed the House on the day we were there visiting the congressional offices! snakes that are destroying the Florida Everglades after people have released their "pets" there. H.R. 2308 banning use of exotic animals in "canned hunts" and "internet hunting", i.e. firing a gun remotely from your computer to kill an animal that has no fair chance to evade death. A few days after our visit we were absolutely thrilled to receive an email telling us she had decided to co-sponsor ALL FOUR BILLS! Your representatives in Congress do not know you care about bills protecting animals unless you tell them. Advocating for better laws takes persistence and patience. But the only chance we have of passing betters laws is by letting our legislators know we care. For more information on what you can do to protect big cats and other animals through legislation visit www. CatLaws.com. And give some thought to attending TAFA next July � we would love to see you there! On that day we had a wonderful visit with staff at Congresswoman Castor's office to discuss current bills For now though, we just want to thank our own we hoped she would support. These were, in brief: Congresswoman Kathy Castor for being a true advocate for animal welfare in Washington! If you would like to H.R. 503 to end the transport of horses out of the U.S. to help us thank her, please take just a moment to email her be slaughtered for meat. at email@example.com. Thank you! H.R. 5434 to combat horrible conditions in "puppy mills".

At the June 2010 Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC) meeting, the commissioners unanimously decided to "do the right thing" and institute a complete ban on "penning of wildlife." Thanks to your help and support - no longer will packs of hunting dogs relentlessly chase bobcats, fox and coyotes in pens for so called training purposes. No longer will they have the opportunity to, day after day, hour after hour, run down terrified bobcats, fox and coyotes in fenced enclosures and often rip them to shreds. But, we still need your help. The details of the language used to prevent these atrocities is very important so that the bad guys can't exploit loopholes. Find out how your letter can help here: http://ow.ly/2pbom Thanks to thousands of letters from Big Cat AdvoCats, the FWCC agreed to change the wording of their Nuisance Wildlife rules so that bobcats who are trapped as nuisance wildlife may not be killed, but rather must be relocated. While our 2,000+ letters asked that bobcats be removed from the list of nuisance wildlife, we are still thankful that the FWCC has decided to at least spare the life of bobcats who are trapped this way. After animal advocates gathered 1000's of signatures for a proposed ballot initiative to put an end to animal abuse in Ohio, a deal was struck between The Humane Society of the United States, Ohio agriculture leaders and Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland that will lead to major animal welfare improvements in Ohio on a raft of issues protecting exotic, domestic and farmed animals. The agreement includes recommendations from all of the parties for the Ohio Livestock Care Standards Care Board, the Legislature, and the Governor to ban the acquisition of dangerous exotic animals as pets, such as primates, bears, lions, tigers, large constricting and venomous snakes, crocodiles and alligators. Ohio is now on track to go from having some of the weakest animal welfare laws in the nation to being a state with much stronger protection for animals, thanks to the signature gathering efforts of advocates through the country. The Truth in Fur Labeling Act passed the House, but is stalled in the Senate.

It had been raining for days on end and we didn't want her to suffer so Big Cat Rescuers Jamie Veronica, Gale Ingham, Jennifer Flatt and Carole Baskin braved the weather to capture and transport her to the onsite West Boensch Cat Hospital. Thanks to Dr. Wynn she received the veterinary care she needed and was back out in the comforts of her enclosure the very next day. When you operate a sanctuary for big cats it is a non stop commitment. That means feeding, cleaning, enriching and providing top notch vet care no Hematoma in the ear Drainage holes & stitches matter how miserable the weather. While preparing for lifesaving veterinary care for Chloe the Snow Leopard, Dr. Liz Wynn, our veterinarian was trying to revive some ancient equipment she would need for this and other procedures. Our obsolete WelchAllyn� examination equipment needed parts, so we set out on a search. After internet searches and shopping turned up few options, an email to WelchAllyn� corporate headquarters went out asking their advice on getting parts to repair these items. It is not an uncommon experience for an email to a big company to just get lost in cyberspace, right? Not this time! portable X-ray used on freckles the liger A couple of weeks later a response came from Dorothy Rizzo, Senior Account Rep for Specialty Markets offering to help. Model numbers were few and far between on the equipment, so Ms. Rizzo requested pictures to help identify what we had, so we took those and sent them along. The reply came quickly and said "thank you this should help - please be patient as I won't be able to look at all of this until next week sometime, but will get to it and see what we can come up with for you! Stay tuned!" Imagine our surprise two weeks later when we got a very nice package in the mail from WelchAllyn� Veterinary division. Instead of parts to revive our obsolete exam tools they sent us over $2,000 worth of brand new equipment. Enclosed was a kind letter signed by Ms. Rizzo, "Hopefully these items will assist you and your team with the rescue and rehabilitation of animals. Congratulations to you, your staff, and volunteers of the organization for the work that you all do! " It is a wonderful thing to experience the gift of inspiration to keep doing the work of Big Cat Rescue, along with material items or technical assistance. Sometimes kindness arrives in the most unexpected ways. Our heartfelt thanks are extended to Ms. Rizzo for going "above and beyond" in her customer service, and to WelchAllyn� for donating valuable and needed care for the cats. Dr. Liz Wynn examines Tonga the White Serval Freckles the Liger was having trouble walking, but at 435 lbs we can't take her to a regular vet clinic for X-rays. Just getting her into a transport, loading her into a truck or trailer and getting her in to a horse clinic is a huge undertaking since the only carrier we have that is big enough for her is a circus wagon. Special custom made transports could help, but what would really help out is to have our own portable, digital X-ray machine. ($125,000.) That way cats like Freckles never have to leave the safety and security of their Cat-a-Tat and we can find out what is going on with them under the skin. Herculean efforts of nearly a dozen Rescuers made the transport of a sedated Freckles from her enclosure to the onsite Cat Hospital a smooth operation. Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Megan Meyers, DVM of the Odessa Equine Clinic we were able, through the use of her equipment and expertise to get X-rays of Freckles back legs and spine. A very special thank you to Dr. Meyers who came on a moment's notice for donating her time to help Freckles and to the Odessa Equine Clinic for donating the use of their equipment. Dr. Wynn performs a sonogram Dr. Meyers X-rays Freckles the Liger Freckles has responded well to a regimen of medications prescribed by Dr. Wynn and she continues to be under observation although back in her enclosure. alachua Bobcat has Bad tooth pulled Big Cat Rescuer Marie Schoubert was recently surprised to find that Alachua the bobcat had broken one of his canines. His jaw was swollen and the tip of the canine was broken off. There is no way to know how he sustained this injury. He needed emergency care for this broken tooth which was most likely quite painful. Dr. Wynn extracts Alachua's bad tooth Alachua was taken to Ehrlich Animal Hospital where his bad tooth was extracted. After a short recovery in the onsite Cat Hospital he was back out in his enclosure and feeling much better.

22-story San Diego Central Courthouse will replace 53-year-old facility in 2016
San Diego Central Courthouse
Architect Skidmore, Owings & Merrill of San Francisco
Landscape architect Tom Leader Studio of San Francisco
General contractor Rudolph and Sletten of Redwood City
Cost $555.5 million, of which $447.3 million is for construction; funding from court fines and fees
Schedule Demolition of existing buildings, March; foundation, early summer; steel erection, spring 2015; occupancy, October 2016
Description 22 stories, 389 feet tall, 71 courtrooms, 80 underground parking spaces, jury assembly room, cafe, outdoor public terrace and ground-floor lobby
San Diego will break ground next month on its most expensive public office building ever: The $555.5 million, San Diego Central Courthouse.
Funded from increased court fines and fees, the 704,000-square-foot building at Union and C streets downtown will replace the obsolete county courthouse that opened 53 years ago.
"I think, in part, we live in a very different world than when the current buildings we occupy were built," said David J. Danielsen, presiding judge of the San Diego Superior Court. "I don't think any of us had any clue way back in the day of the potential danger of asbestos. I don't think anybody ever designed a building with modern terrorists in mind."
Due for completion in 2016, the building also breaks the mold in courthouse design. No more Classical columns or bell towers, such as those that existed in earlier San Diego courthouses. This courthouse is a 22-story skyscraper — 389 feet tall.
Officials considered moving the facility to a suburban location but rejected that idea because of the concentration of legal and law enforcement activities downtown.
"The trend will be toward these kinds of arrangements," said the project architect Javier Arizmendi at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in San Francisco. "I think it's more efficient in the way people will move through the building. It is much safer in terms of the way people are processed through the facility."
But unfortunately for urban planners, the building does not mix uses with retail or restaurant space that could keep the area vibrant after business hours.
"We did look at that," said Clifford Ham, principal architect in the Administrative Office of the Courts. "We felt the ground floor perimeter is too valuable to us."
However, the building is across the street from the W Hotel and will eventually front on the "Civic Garden" park if an underground parking garage comes to fruition. The jury lounge in the adjoining Hall of Justice, to be linked by a third-level pedestrian bridge to the south, will be freed up for conference and after-hours uses once the jury assembly area moves to the new building.
From a broader downtown perspective, the new building speeds along the development of a new civic zone, as called for in the downtown community plan, where city, county, federal and court facilities are all within walking distance. It's an idea that had its origin in John Nolen's plan for San Diego in 1908 but has never quite come to pass.
The new courthouse, funded by the state as part of a reconfiguration of state-county responsibilities, was needed because a major earthquake fault lies beneath the present county courthouse and made that building unsafe and economically unfeasible to rehabilitate.

Salt Lake To Seattle, Two Days, One Rider, No Problems
No, there are no pictures, among other things I forgot to bring a camera.
So I moved from Park City Utah to Woodinville WA in June, and I got talked into leaving my HD Heritage Softail behind because "a bunch of guys would love to make that ride". Well, of course, when I finally found time for the ride, they were all committed, so I did it myself. Figuring "what could go wrong on a two day 1150 mile ride through the desert and mountains on Harley?" I took off on Friday morning. Unfortunately I also went to bed on Friday morning. As the return to Park City was a bit of a reunion, I ended up drinking about two or three too many bottles of Zinfandel and woke up feeling like I'd slept with a racoon in my mouth. To quote Jimmy Buffett, my heard hurt, my feet stank, and I did not love Jesus. We left Park City (my buddy agreed to accompany me for the first hour on his GS1200, aka "the mechanical camel') and went over big mountain, past east canyon reservoir, and over to Morgan. The curves were making me a bit woozy but it might also have been the three cups of coffee and six marlboros on an empty stomach. At morgan,we parted ways, me to jump onto I84 to truely begin the trin, he to go find a napa autp parts store because his motorcycle simulation machine, er, his R1200GSA, had the oil light go on. Also, I believe the disk had to be defragged or something.
I started down I84 with the following thought in my head: "What am I, nuts? Two days to go 1100 miles? What the hell's wrong with me? I'll hate myself by noon." Turns out, it was actually pretty much fun.
I had almost worn my Harley Davidson leathers, but at the last moment decided to pack my genuine adventure rider two piece cordura coated multipocket matching red and black power ranger riding gear. This was because 1) it took less space on the plane ride out, 2) it's August and I figured in the leather I'd be sweating like a mormon in a liquor store, and 3) it's got a cool ADV fabric oval glued on the back, in case I ran into any of the FFs here. Nevertheless, by the time I got out of Utah into Idaho, it was already hotter than a fat woman's box, and I was soaking. Startng to feel less hungover, though. Then the most significant event of the ride occured. My damned mp3 player crapped out. Less than 100 miles into the ride, in mid-clapton, in fact. Just froze. And that was the end of the tunage. I pulled over at a gas station in Idaho to fill up and remove the qJays and replace them with the cheapo ear plugs I always carry. I also got into a conversation with a couple of guys on Harleys going the other way. Two of the dumbest guys I ever met. The conversation went something like "so there were three of us but we got drunk and I headbutted the other guy and his teeth got knocked out and he got mad and wouldn't ride with us anymore"...Starting to wish at that point I had taken the Uly instead.
As I was heading further up I15 toward Pocatello, I thought I'd pull off at a rest stop and buy a map. Remember when I put in those ear plugs? Let me tell you something, those things really clear out the ears. I pulled them out and they looked like somebody wiped their butt with them. Ewwwwww....Good thing I had more. Anyway, I bought an Idaho map and then I took out the Mapquest route I had put together. then I looked at the map again. then the mapquest route. Hmmm...something ain't right here.....I started reading through the mapquest directions that I had put together the night before (remember the zinfandel?) and in one section it said "60 miles on dirt". Now damnit, I don't mind dirt, I look for it on my Uly, but I was on the damned Harkey, so I was SOL and had to re-route. It's ok, it's an adVENture...so I cut over after Pocatello to Hwy 26 west.
Hwy 26 west from I15 is a peculiar rode. It's pretty much a bunch of sagebrush and few cars. Then I went by a town called "Atomic City" and thought, "what's next, Spacely Sprockets?" Turns out that this little patch of the planet is known for making and piloting nuclear reactors, for some reason. I just kept going, through towns advertising "atomic burgers", "atomic shakes", and "mutant fries".
Hooked up with 93 north, and now it started getting nice. Pretty much followed the river up through a place called Salmon, ID. Now, that's a weird name for a town that's 1000 miles away from the ocean, but there you have it. Apparently, the salmon really did come all that way before the damns and jellystone parks were built. Pulled over for fuel again and saw a guy who was definitely an adventure rider. He was on a BME Dakar, fully loaded with bags, a tent, sleeping bag, the whole bit. I wanted to shake his hand but he didn't have an ADV sticker so I thought "screw him, loser." we played follow the leader for about 100 miles along the salmon river, then he must have turned off or something. 93 is a very delightful road and I pulled into the Holiday Inn in Missoula with 578 miles on the odometer and 10 hours on the ass. I almost tried to go to Lewston that night but good thing I didn't, it took longer.
Now I know some of you don't consider a Holiday Inn part of an adventure ride, but instead of roasting wienes an dbeans in a can, and boiling water so it was safe to drink, I had two gin and tonics and a new mexican spiced t-bone steak, so screw you. I have to admit, I travel quite a bit for a living, and I've stayed in my share of Holiday Inns (the worst ever is the Memphis Airport Holiday Inn, trust me on that) so I was shocked at the quality of the food. if you're ever in Missoula, try the T-bone at the Holiday Inn. Really!
So I got up the next morning at 6:30 and did US12 from Lolo MT to Lewiston, ID. I gotta gell you folks, it was absolutely one of the best rides I ever took. Except I was freezing my ass off. And worried about deer. And the "moose crossing' signs had me on my toes. And the "next gas 67 miles" sort of got my attention too. But well worth it. Little road construction, but well worth it. From the time I was on 93 until I hit Lewston, I had been on the Lewis and Clark Trail. There were lots of markers. In fact, had I stopped to read each one, it would have taken me longer to complete the route than it took Lewis and Clark. But as I have read "Undaunted Courage", it was pretty cool. I can't imagine being stuck up in those mountains in the middle of winter with hardely anything to eat, reliant on indi...uh, native americ...uh "indigenous aboriginies", and with pretty much almost no beer.
From Lewiston, I kept on 12 until I was in WA and then took 261 up to I-90. Lots more motorcycles than cars on 261 so I guess that's the local loop. I was really just guessing the whole way. I could have stayed on 12 and gone all the way to Portland, I suppose, but i didn't want to spend another night in a h0tel. Ok, or in a tent. So, I'd recommend 261, which put me on I90 220 miles east of Seattle. The first hundred of those were horrid straight slab miles, but after that it gets pretty nice, you climb up into the hills, cross the columbia, and keep climbing. About 120 miles out I had two simultaneous thoughts....one that I was almost home and I was getting tired, and the other "oh crap, I'm almost done already". I pulled into the driveway about 6:15 PDT
Think I'll do it again next summer. Definitely on the Uly
The crows seemed to be calling his name, thought Caw.

We had already known each other for years and always knew we would get together. I can't even tell you how our romance started. It all just flowed together so naturally. We met, he made a pass at me and I shyed away. One day while talking to him he had to leave. This strange feeling came over me when he walked away. I then realized that I never wanted him to walk away from me again, so I told him how I felt;even when I didn't realize it. His reply was simply, "It was always you......you knew that." After we officially made it official, one night we were out enjoying the summer's night air, and he asked me if I loved his mother. I've known her since I was a child so of course I said yes. His next question was, "Well wouldn't it make sense for my mom to be your mom too?" I said yes. I actually found myself in a jeweler's men's section looking for a wedding band. Yes, I ASKED HIM. He found that very endearing that a woman would give up a chance to show off her hand in order to just have the man of her dreams. We tied the knot on May 28, 2009 early one morning at a park near our home. This man is the epitome of a Good Man. I could never begin to tell anyone of this man's untold kindness, patience, and playful disposition. He is a true romantic. When I say he gives me flowers, he gives me so many that I end up giving some away to family members. He stayed up in Paris with me when I was sick. From midnight romantic dinners, to waking me early to see the sunrise from the best point in the city, Dan is a beautiful person. I literally get lost in him. After we kiss, I have to regain my grip on reality. Looking into his eyes is is like seeing the water off the shore of paradise. He is my blessing from God, and I thank him everyday for this man. He completes me. I love him because he is everything I am not, but everything that I know in my heart is true and righteous and that is what I need to be.

It somehow slipped my mind that I did not post photos of the rings. It's funny cause I still to this day shove it in the face of anyone that will look. It used to drive my habibi nuts, but now he sees it as I am in love with what he gave me. Everyone for some reason or another always want to know why the bands don't match. My favorite flowers are Calla Lilies. I also happen to love the stars. I know you guys like us have those cute couple moments when you say I love you more than all the fish in the sea. Well habibi loves me so much that I am the only woman on the planet with a garden on the moon, filled with my Picasso Lilies. The white band, which is my Anniversary Ring(we were married on our one year anniversary) represents the moon;while my Wedding Ring is the garden with the flowers. Things like that get my Brother-In-Law in the hot seat;his girlfriend is trying to mimic me & my ring among other things. Any of you ladies have that issue? Well anyway Hope you ladies love the ring like I do!

My husband's favorite animal is the Wolf. He loves the fact that they mate for life. With that said what better way to translate that into his wedding band. It's a custom made one of a kind piece that I have named....Mated for Life
The final product!

Growing up, my grandmother & I were very close. I went to see her every weekend. My grandmother was paralyzed, so I went to go help her clean and just to spend time with her. I remember how she always used to have loose change around waiting for me ^_^ The coolest part about her was the fact that she was the one who introduced my mom to my Mother-in-Love. I feel like since she was the reason through events that we even met, that she HAS to be there when we have our Vow Ceremony. She passed in 2001, well before I met my husband, but she knew he was the one for me......I believe it in my heart. I wore her Engagement ring the day I got married. To honor her at our Vow Ceremony, I plan to have an identical bouquet to match mine and lay it on a chair in the front row with a sign. If not, I will definitely have a single flower with a sign in her reserved chair.

If anyone finds a database of sylvari skins (with patterns & colors) for night & day, I am having a hard time finding a skin that I like, and I need two skins!

There's HOM stuff in that gallery, along with familiar skins like the pyroclastic axe, destroyer weapons and the sephis axe, except they just look more awesome :)

Put all the human light armor front views together for easier viewing -- here they are if any care for them:
Didn't find a video with it, but is there an armor vault in GW2?
I this A LOT better than this. I think I am going to be sad that the left is not light armor...

So there are the dungeon armors, the racial armors (tiered), and what other armors?
-- oops dbl post, if mod could combine with previous post plox
I don't know, I've been wondering myself...
specially because I haven't seen some of the human armors that appear in the creation screen anywhere in the videos or collections I find from dungeon or cultural sets.
[I'm not sure if that sentence made sense]

The Times (of London)Like many a good television sleuth (think Jessica Fletcher or Ellery Queen), [Fisman] is also an author, even if there the similarity ends. He has written Economic Gangsters and in it he and co-author Edward Miguel trace the steps oft eh corrupt using not DNA or forensic science but data and statistics. Theirs is a treatment to the truism that when you are looking for clues, follow the money. The book gives half a dozen examples of how data can be used to find corrupt behaviour, particularly in developing countries.
