Dr. Dena Bloomenthal's Ratings
I had a very successful VBAC too! No drugs or anything. My little guy turned late in my pregnancy and we discovered just as I was about to birth at home. Thank you Dr. Bloomenthal! I was so happy with my birth and was just asked to write the story. I am so grateful for everything you did.

I had a successful VBAC thanks to Dr. Bloomenthal. My midwives discovered close to 40 weeks that my baby was breech. BC women's has a waiting list for ECVs and I was nowhere near the top since my care providers found out so close to my due date. One doctor I met with (not a BC women's Dr) said he could schedule a cesarian for me but didn't want to attempt an ECV at that point. I was starting to panic. I really didn't want another cesarian and I really didn't want to deliver breech. She was the only doctor that would try an ECV. I was told by other doctors that the success rate was low because of the size of my baby and the lack of room there was for the baby to turn (I have a short torso). But Dr. Bloomenthal gave it a shot. Even I was having my doubts about my baby turning at 40 weeks but she put everything she had into it and made it happen!! I should add: drug free and on my due date. Because of her I was able to deliver my baby vaginally a few days later. It was important to me because it took me 8 weeks to heal from my cesarean and this time I had a newborn and a four year old to take care of. I am eternally grateful to her for getting my baby into the right position. She even did a fist pump at the end which was kind of awesome. Thank you Dr Bloomenthal!

Seriously first class all the way. She is absolutely amazing. Both of our children were C section which she performed and we feel so lucky to have been in her hands. she made us feel so comfortable ever step of the way and her demenour throuout the process from start to finish was top notch. She's just a really good person and we feel so lucky to have had her. By the way, the people at her office are also first class. Lynn was amazing during both occasions. DR. Bloomenthal is the real deal, an amazing Doctor and person.

I am Dr. Bloomenthal's current patient. I am extremely happy with the care I received from her. I met her first time at the Early Pregnancy Assessment Clinic , at the time I was going through a lot of comlication and even a Dr. At a walk in clinic was telling me I was miscarrying.
Dr. Bloomenthal's confidence and positive attitude really gave me the hope and strength despite the complications I was facing. Now my baby is closer to due day and I can't wait to have my c-section done by her. Her receptionist , Lynn, has been extremly professional and caring as well as Dr. Bloomenthal. I remember calling arround to look for an OB before asking my GP for a referral, Lynn was the one and only one of the many assistance of the OBs I spoke to who cared and willing to answer my Qs before I was even referred. Hence, I did mot mind the longer wait to be able to see Dr. Bloomenthal since I knew I would be in good hands. Dr. Bloomenthal has always been patience in answeing my hundress Qs and always been precise in the info of my pregnancy. Because of her possitive attitude and cares, I could manage to move on with this complicated pregnancy ( with frequent spotting until 27wks ) and now being very healthy despite my gestational diabetes. I highly recommend her .

10 years ago my wife had an issue at the early part of her pregnancy that we had Dr. Bloomenthal consult with us at Women's and Children's. At that time the fetus was early on and her advice was to abort because it was her opinion that the baby was not viable and for us to come in the next day for an abortion. We left the hospital and decided to wait for two weeks. Thankfully instead of going into the hospital the next day, we waited and the next test results showed that the baby was viable. He was subsequently born healthy and had his 10th birthday not too long ago. Outside the delivery room we ran into the Dr. and my mother-in-law showed her what a mistake she had tried to convince us to make.

She is absolutely wonderful! I had Thomas, my first and only, at 41. She was so ready to answer my questions, of which I had many, and she always answered with thought. She is a professional but she knows how to keep you comfortable and make you laugh! She has a lovely sense of humor. She was wonderful in the delivery room and my husband was consistently reassured there too.

We loved dena! She was our doc for all 4 of our kids and when things got scary, she was there to help us through it. Wonderful! Can't say enough! She is simply the best! We were very lucky to be able to have her be our ob/gyn for all 4 kids!!

Dr. Bloomenthal was my OB during my pregnancy and also happened to be on rotation when my twins were delivered via emergency C-section. During my prenatal care, she was very caring and was always a pleasure to be around. At the hospital, she literally held my hand and gave me a hug before the surgery because I was going into a panic attack. I am very grateful for all that she has done for my family and honestly cannot say enough good things about her!

of quality journalism! I do not see how I could've survived without this info
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
Gossip Girl, the hit teen drama about the "scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite" doesn't have many Jewish characters, which may explain why its Monday evening Yom Kippur episode dubbed "The fasting and the furious" was so fashionably late.
Entertainment Weekly decided to spoof the episode promo, calling Nate's new older love interest – played by the sizzling Elizabeth Hurley – a "Shiksa", and showing the show's only actual Jewish character, Cyrus, played by Wallace Shawn of inconceivable "Princess Bride" fame, blowing the shofar.
Perhaps the show's self-indulgent characters could use a day of atonement, though the likelihood of Blair Waldorf doing Teshuva is shaky at best.

RE/MAX chief of energy solutions says builders need to make the benefits abundantly clear to homeowners

Fox has added more hours to the Season 9 American Idol scheudule
Not only will the Top 12 be a two hour show, but also the Top 11, Top 10 and Top 9. That's two hours of Idol on March 16, March 23, March 30 and April 6.
In the days of the 3 judge panel, typically, the Top 12 and Top 11 performance shows ran 2 hours. Idol's running time would drop down to 90 minutes for the Top 10 and then down to a reasonable hour-long show for the Top 9.
But after Kara was added as judge last year, the Idol had chronic problems ending on time. My solution would be to force the judges to STFU. But, NO. Instead, the producers indulge the panel, offering bloated performance shows as the solution. Bah.
Check out my revised Idol schedule right HERE.

Also in the state budget: Traffic-control help returns to Fauntleroy ferry dockJuly 2, 2015 at 12:14 pm | In Fauntleroy, Transportation, West Seattle news | 14 Comments
The new state budget will restore funding for traffic control at the Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal, according to City Councilmember Tom Rasmussen. Ever since budget cuts did away with the help four years ago, it's been a sore spot for terminal users, neighborhood residents, and people who travel through the busy terminal zone just south of Lincoln Park – more than 5,100 vehicles a day, in addition to hundreds of people on foot and on bikes. The new "transportation package" brings back $496,000 for use of off-duty law enforcers to "manage the loading and off-loading of ferry commuters," according to Rasmussen's announcement, which you can read in full ahead:

West Seattle Crime Watch: Fauntleroy Creek overlook salmon sculptures stolen; Moondrop Coffee break-inJune 25, 2015 at 11:43 am | In Crime, Fauntleroy, West Seattle news | 11 Comments
Two West Seattle Crime Watch reports:
(City-provided photo of one of the stolen fish)
FAUNTLEROY CREEK OVERLOOK ART THEFT: Fauntleroy Creek steward Judy Pickens tells WSB that someone has stolen part of the art installation at the fish-ladder overlook across from the ferry dock:
I'm sorry to report that someone cut through the base of both the bronze coho
salmon and cutthroat trout that have been part of "Stream Echo" since its installation at the fish-ladder viewpoint in 1998. … The city's Office of Cultural Affairs has contacted artist Tom Jay to request replacements. Because Tom is very involved with art installation at Cove Park, we have no idea when he can recast the fish.
If the thief still has the fish, we would welcome them back, no questions asked, on our front porch – 4539 SW Director Place.
Judy's husband Phil Sweetland discovered the theft yesterday, but she says it could have happened any time in the past several days. Though this is on a smaller scale physically, we still couldn't help but be reminded of the as-yet-unsolved Walking on Logs sculpture theft, which happened almost exactly a year ago.
MOONDROP COFFEE & TEA BREAK-IN: Proprietor David Livingood from the little coffee shop across from Seacrest sent word this morning that someone broke into their shop late last night. They're still trying to assess what was stolen but wanted to get the word out. (We were headed that way this morning when diverted by the crane fire and are still planning to go over and find out more – we'll update when there's more information.)
Save the date: Celebrate the reopening of Cove Park on July 18thJune 22, 2015 at 8:46 pm | In Fauntleroy, West Seattle beaches, West Seattle news | 7 Comments
(WSB photo of Cove Park, taken from the bluff across Fauntleroy Way at midday today)
Exactly three years ago, on June 22, 2012, we reported the closure of Cove Park – the pocket beach just north of the Fauntleroy ferry dock – for what was at the time described as about two years of work to upgrade the Barton Pump Station next door. Cove Park's beloved art installations were taken away for storage, but now the crow and canoe are back … the beach is being restored … and new art will be in view when the beach reopens soon. Thanks to Judy Pickens for the heads-up that the big celebration is set for 2-4 pm on Saturday, July 18th (as she first reported in the Fauntleroy Community Association newsletter): "Festivities will include remarks from community, county, and artist perspectives, music created for the occasion, refreshments, and tours of the upgraded and expanded Barton Street wastewater pump station." Perfect timing that day, between the West Seattle Grand Parade and the first of this year's six West Seattle Outdoor Movies!

12:03 PM: Don't know yet what it was about, but a group of military helicopters flew northbound over the west-facing West Seattle shore a short time ago. Anybody get a photo/video? We ran out the front door with the phone (resulting in this video, but they're somewhat tiny-looking in the distance). One observer said via Twitter that it looked like four Chinooks and a Blackhawk.
12:24 PM: Thanks to James Bratsanos and to Joe for sending photos so far. The two above are from James – first the wide view of all five, then a closer look at two of the Chinooks and the (Blackhawk?).
12:28 PM: More info in comments – including Jim Clark spotting what might be the answer to the question of what this was about.
12:33 PM: Further verification of what Jim found – a program on that Facebook page says Special Forces from JBLM were to fly by/in (Paine Field in Snohomish County), with "Chinooks x 4."
West Seattle development: City issues notice for 'egregious' violation – house going up over what was approved as just a garageJune 5, 2015 at 5:09 pm | In Development, Fauntleroy, West Seattle news | 63 Comments
By Tracy Record
West Seattle Blog editor
What's happening on a lot in the 8400 block of 41st/42nd SW in Upper Fauntleroy isn't your standard case of one house down, two bigger houses go up, neighbors get upset. Even a city spokesperson calls it "egregious" – a house going up without a permit, on a site first approved just for a larger garage.
We hadn't heard anything about this site since mentioning it here one year ago, until neighbors contacted us earlier this week.
After the site and its old brick house were sold last year, a lot split was sought. The new owner built a house on the south side, at 8437 41st SW. For the north side, the owner filed an application in October for a permit granted in January to build a "2,258-square-foot, 35-foot-tall detached underground garage," at 8454 42nd SW.
A neighbor wrote in e-mail, "In January 2015, the construction began. The 35-foot detached garage was striking in this neighborhood of single-family homes. However, once the garage was completed, the building continued first with one level of living space, followed by a second, and then a week ago, on May 27, 2015, yet a third level of living space was added to this structure. Now this structure, permitted as a detached garage, is a four-story, 10,000 square foot monstrosity. Additionally, the property has 42nd Ave on the westside and 41st Ave on the eastside. On both streets, the structure has clearly marked garages." Atop this story is the 42nd SW side; here's the 41st side:
Neighbors complained to the city Department of Planning and Development, which confirms it posted a "stop-work order" on Tuesday.

FOLLOWUP: Fauntleroy Creek salmon-release season wraps upJune 1, 2015 at 11:27 pm | In Environment, Fauntleroy, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | Comments Off
(Photo by Dennis Hinton – creekside sign created by Taproot School)
One incredibly busy month of visits by salmon-raising schools – starting with Pathfinder K-8 on April 30th (WSB coverage here) – is over at Fauntleroy Creek. Judy Pickens has the wrapup report:
The last of 20 salmon releases in Fauntleroy Creek occurred May 28 when second- and fourth-graders from Concord Elementary brought their coho to Fauntleroy Park.
All told, volunteers with the Fauntleroy Watershed Council hosted 750 students this year and an additional 175 adults and younger siblings. Their participation in the Salmon in the Schools program resulted in the release of nearly 1,700 fry that will spend the next year in the creek.
Also this spring, volunteers documented 31 coho smolts leaving the creek for two years in saltwater, a dozen more than in 2014.
Next big season for volunteers on the creek will be this fall, when they watch for returning spawners – 19 last year.
LAST CALL: Spend a few minutes to answer a few questions from the Fauntleroy Community AssociationMay 28, 2015 at 7:50 pm | In Fauntleroy, How to help, West Seattle news | Comments Off
If you haven't already … can you help with this?
Do you live between the Arroyos and Morgan Street? Travel through or do business in Fauntleroy? The Fauntleroy Community Association (FCA) wants to hear from you! The FCA has a new community survey to identify and rank local issues. The anonymous survey can be accessed through fauntleroy.net and then clicking on "FCA Survey." The survey takes just a few minutes, and will provide guidance to the FCA Board on where to focus their efforts during the next two years.The results from the 2013 survey led to the FCA organizing community meetings with city officials to address crime and traffic issues, and helped our group define plans of action. The current survey will be available online through Sunday (June 1st). Take the survey and help to shape the future of your community!
PHOTOS: Scenes from sold-out Taste of West Seattle, raising $53,000 for WS HelplineMay 21, 2015 at 10:07 pm | In Fauntleroy, Fun stuff to do, West Seattle news | 6 Comments
(UPDATED Friday afternoon with fundraising total and more)
ORIGINAL REPORT, 10:07 PM THURSDAY: When you see the advance warning every spring that the Taste of West Seattle will probably sell out, so you'll want to get your tickets early – it's not just a sales pitch. Tonight's benefit for the West Seattle Helpline sold out days in advance and the line above was just for ticketholders waiting to get into The Hall at Fauntleroy! Once inside, you had the chance to sample the tastes and sips brought by dozens of local food and beverage purveyors. From north to south, here's who we photographed:
Up from Alki were Nadia and Inaam Khazaal from Phoenecia (WSB sponsor) – where giving back isn't just something they do for occasions like this, but also on Give Back Tuesdays (which raised money for Helpline in March). From East Alki, Chef Paolo Carey-DiGregorio and Corporate Pastry Chef Douglas Taylor from Salty's (WSB sponsor):
From North Admiral, Cary Kemp from Pizzeria 22:
Also from Admiral, Jude and Megan from Metropolitan Market (WSB sponsor):
From the north end of The Junction, Hotwire Online Coffeehouse (WSB sponsor) proprietor Lora Swift (below right) with Janie and Dan Jacobs:
From the east side of The Junction, at outer Jefferson Square, Dream Dinners (WSB sponsor) proprietor Leslie Thomson and assistant Amanda, with Brooks Riendl from the Helpline board:
Heading south to just north of Morgan Junction, members of the Harry's Chicken Joint team:
Tom DiStefano from nearby West Seattle Cellars, which raised more than $1,300 for Helpline in honor of their recent 20th anniversary:
More than 40 participants in all – and about 500 people there to be delighted by what they ate and drank. We're waiting to hear the final tallies on tonight's Helpline-helping success and will update when we have the info.
ADDED EARLY FRIDAY: A popular feature of The Taste is voting to choose best bite and best sweet – Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes, which operates The Hall, won the former, while Stuffed Cakes for the third consecutive year won the latter.
ADDED FRIDAY AFTERNOON: The fundraising total is in from new Helpline executive director Chris Langeler, $53,000, the most for a "Taste of West Seattle" so far. That includes a $10,000 day-of donation from Metropolitan Market.
Start of the season for student-raised salmon at Fauntleroy CreekApril 30, 2015 at 12:27 pm | In Environment, Fauntleroy, West Seattle news | 4 Comments
(WSB photos)
Pathfinder K-8 is the first West Seattle school to visit Fauntleroy Creek this season to release student-raised salmon. We were there as volunteer creek stewards hosted them this morning, first with a gathering at the park entrance, then on to the creek:
In the next photo, that's Dennis Hinton, leading the event along with Pete Draughon.
Creek steward Judy Pickens was there too – she's put together this year's schedule of releases with 15+ schools (most, but not all, from West Seattle) visiting over the next four weeks:
Here by the way is what the fish that survive will look like when they head out in a year or so as smolt (like this one):
We of course were not alone in photographing the event – this young lady had a GoPro:
This season marks 25 years since the first salmon release on Fauntleroy Creek, Judy says. She estimates that they've hosted at least 10,000 students for salmon releases in that quarter-century. Last season, more than 2,500 coho fry were set free in the creek; volunteers then watch in the fall for returning spawners – 19 came back last year.

The sun on Sunday brought out the best in West Seattle residents as an estimated 400 vehicles delivered recyclables to the Fauntleroy Church Green Committee's spring Recycle Roundup. The crew from 1 Green Planet carried, loaded, and took away an estimated 10 tons for responsible disassembly. We'll do it again on September 27!
HAPPENING NOW: Got recyclables? 'Roundup' on until 3 pmApril 26, 2015 at 11:43 am | In Environment, Fauntleroy, West Seattle news | 2 Comments

You can't put them out at the curb … you can't put them in the trash … but chances are, those old items you have in the basement or back yard CAN be dropped off at today's Recycle Roundup, happening right now in the Fauntleroy Church parking lot. If you haven't already seen it in our daily highlights list, here's the guide to what 1 Green Planet will accept (free!) and what they won't. The church's Green Committee sponsors this twice a year and will be glad to see you at 9140 California SW (map), until 3 pm.

A green reminder on this Earth Day: If you're ready to recycle items that you can't put out with the usual curbside recyclables – good news: Fauntleroy Church's next Recycle Roundup is only four days away, coming up this Sunday (April 26th), 9 am-3 pm.

UPDATE: Candles blamed for 2-alarm house fire in 8000 block of Fauntleroy Way SW, 2 people taken to hospitalApril 10, 2015 at 6:58 am | In Fauntleroy, West Seattle fires, West Seattle news | 84 Comments
(TOPLINES: Fire under investigation. 2 men in hospital. Metro back to regular routing on Fauntleroy)
(WSB photo, added 7:17 am)
6:58 AM: Seattle Fire has a house-fire response on the way to the 8000 block of Fauntleroy Way SW, which is across the street from Lincoln Park. SDOT says Fauntleroy is closed at Monroe, and a traffic cam shows black smoke from blocks away. At least one person is reported to need medical attention. More to come.
7:06 AM: SFD is sending more engines and also notifying Metro it will need to reroute lines that use Fauntleroy in the area.
(This photo and next, by Kam Junejo)
7:17 AM: One person is reported to be on the way to Harborview via SFD medic unit; another medic unit radioed that another person in need of medical attention "just walked up" to their unit at the scene and was "in the fire room." Our crew on scene says flames are still visible from the second floor.
7:24 AM: SFD is sending a second alarm, so you'll see/hear more emergency vehicles. Traffic-wise, there is absolutely no access to the Fauntleroy ferry dock from the north – if you have to get there, approach from the south – 35th to Barton, then west on Barton (which becomes California past the schoolhouse and then Wildwood in the Endolyne area) to Fauntleroy. Ideally, avoid the area TFN. P.S. At least one TV helicopter is now overhead.
(WSB photos from this point down)
7:31 AM: This is still a full-on firefight. The house, according to public records, is 106 years old. SFD says the person taken to the hospital is a man in critical condition, suffering from smoke inhalation.
7:50 AM: We're adding photos from an upslope neighbor showing the extent of the flames. SFD's Lt. Sue Stangl has just spoken to media on scene; our crew says she told them that multiple neighbors called the fire in. Five people were in the house, all got out, but as we've reported above, one man was taken to the hospital with smoke inhalation. Fire is still not out.
(WSB photo)
One dog was rescued, one other pet's status is not known. We'll add video of her briefing when our crew returns to HQ.
8:12 AM: SFD reports the fire is "knocked down" – that still doesn't mean out, but it's progress. We also asked Lt. Stangl about whether there was a water-supply problem – one firefighter was heard via radio that they were "out of water," and lines subsequently were rolled blocks further south, but Stangl says that they had water on the fire from the start and that might just have involved the backup line; they'll be checking.
8:35 AM: Firefighters are now calling the fire "tapped" – another milestone toward being out – and scaling down operations a bit.
8:50 AM: Crews at the scene say they're expecting to have one lane of Fauntleroy Way open within a few minutes. Washington State Ferries' advisory says that "traffic is temporarily single-lane offloading and is being directed to the south when exiting the Fauntleroy terminal."
9:13 AM: Fauntleroy Way has reopened and Metro says buses are back on their regular routing in the area.
9:52 AM: Two men are in the hospital – in addition to the one in critical condition, the other has a "minor burn to the leg," per SFD, which still has several units at the scene. Meantime, the ferry terminal is back to normal offloading.
10:29 AM: Continuing to await word on the cause. Here's what the front of the house looked like as of a short time ago:
As discussed in comments, neighbors say the house has a troubled past. What we've found so far are multiple complaints to the city regarding junk storage, inoperable cars, and a dormer built without a permit; the online file shows that case was referred to the City Attorney's Office last year.
11:54 AM: SFD has just announced that the fire was caused by "unattended candles on the main floor." It also says a neighbor's house was damaged.
West Seattle scene: Fauntleroy Creek's first 2015 outbound cohoMarch 29, 2015 at 10:52 pm | In Environment, Fauntleroy, West Seattle news | 1 Comment
They're headed out – maybe to return. Thanks to Judy Pickens for a Fauntleroy Creek salmon update:
The first two coho smolts have been documented leaving Fauntleroy Creek. Volunteer Steev Ward found the first in a soft trap in the lower creek, closely followed by volunteer Dennis Hinton with the second, on Friday (March 27) – the first day of annual trapping. The Fauntleroy Watershed Council has been conducting volunteer monitoring to see how many leave the creek for saltwater since 2003 and this year's research will continue through May.
Fall is when volunteers watch for returning coho spawners; 19 were documented last year.
Fauntleroy Community Association's new survey is now onlineMarch 29, 2015 at 6:16 pm | In Fauntleroy, West Seattle news, West Seattle online | Comments Off
From the Fauntleroy Community Association:
Do you live between the Arroyos and Morgan Street? Travel through or do business in Fauntleroy? The Fauntleroy Community Association (FCA) wants to hear from you!
The FCA has prepared a new community survey seeking input to identify and rank local issues. The anonymous survey can be accessed through www.fauntleroy.net and then clicking on "FCA Survey." The survey takes about 5 minutes, and will provide guidance to the FCA Board on where to focus their efforts during the next two years.
The results from the 2013 survey led to the FCA organizing community meetings with city officials to address crime and traffic issues. Dialogues between residents and officials were constructive and resulted in agreed-upon action plans.
Take the survey and help to shape the future of your community!
Barton Pump Station Upgrade traffic alert for tomorrow; project 'very close to being done'March 25, 2015 at 5:07 pm | In Fauntleroy, Utilities, West Seattle news | Comments Off
(WSB photo, taken today)
With another traffic advisory from King County Wastewater Treatment Division related to the Barton Pump Station Upgrade Project next to the Fauntleroy ferry dock, we asked for an overall update. First – the traffic advisory:
The northern ferry lane entrance and toll booth will be closed for up to two hours starting at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow morning, March 26. The closure is necessary to allow Seattle City Light crews to remove the temporary electrical system that has served the Barton Pump Station during construction. This work is part of construction wrap up for the Barton Pump Station Upgrade. Flaggers will be on hand to keep ferry and Fauntleroy traffic moving. Please call the project hotline with any questions or concerns: 206-296-2999.
Now the overall update: County spokesperson Annie Kolb-Nelson tells WSB that "the project is very close to being done. The art work is scheduled to come in in April, and landscaping and restoration is ongoing through spring. WTD is working with Friends of Cove Park to plan a June celebration for the public. We'll offer pump station tours, and Friends of Cove Park will host a celebratory re-opening of the beach." Cove Park closed in June 2012, as the construction got under way.

MBTA rolls out mobile ticketing for commuter rail riders
A mobile ticketing system has been in the works for months and the MBTA and MassDOT today officially launched its one-year smartphone commuter rail ticketing system pilot.
During its first phase of the rollout beginning today, commuter rail riders in the North (Lowell, Fitchburg, Haverhill, and Newbury/Rockport) can purchase single and 10-ride tickets using an iOS and Android-enabled smartphone and beginning in a little more than two weeks during the second phase, riders in the South (Worcester, Franklin, Fairmount, Providence, Greenbus and Old Colony) will be able to purchase their single and 10-ride tickets using their smartphones. Beginning in December, passengers will also be able to purchase monthly passes using the mobile ticketing service.
MBTA Director of Innovation Joshua Robin said the request for information went out to potential vendors last December. "We heard from 21 firms and were overwhelmed by the interest," he said. "There were seven firms that really had something solid and we met with those folks."
Robin said the MBTA was so impressed by the JustRide technology developed by Masabi US Ltd., that it beta tested the technology with 100 riders within just a few months after first connecting with Masabi. "If you are going to make an error you rather do it with 100 people you know."
Since then, the MBTA has committed to a one-year pilot with Masabi, which is venture backed and has technology in use in more than 13 UK transit agencies. "It's pretty phenomenal," he said. "It took years from inception to implement the Charlie Cards and this took only 7 months."
There was a growing need for the technology, especially since less than half of MBTA's 140 commuter rail stations have fare vending machines, forcing many customers to pay for tickets on board. According to an MBTA survey conducted in June, 76 percent of its commuter rail riders use smartphones. "We see this is as a major convenience for them," Robin said. "We are the first commuter rail system in the country to launch a mobile ticketing application."
Along with the functionality to buy tickets via credit or debit card, the smartphone app also features schedules and alerts. More features will be rolled out in the future, according to the MBTA.
To combat fare evasion or any other security issues such as those with Charlie Cards, all mobile tickets include cryptographic validation. In fact, conductors will validate tickets using their own smartphone apps.
While the mobile ticketing is available for Android and iOS devices, the plan is to also roll out a version for Blackberry users. Non smartphone users need not worry, as the paper ticket universe is not going away.

OMG! This cream gives me L I F E. I swear by it and I recommend it to every female I come across. lol No, but really this cream has worked wonders for me. I have very oily prone to acne skin and I would have never thought a cream designed for "dry skin" would help me so much, it has cleared away all my acne AND my dark spots as well. I wasted a lot of money looking for creams that read in the front "for oily skin" . With this stuff a little goes a long way. I use it every morning after my shower and i feel that is enough to give me radiant skin all day long. It works perfect with my Estee LIuder double wear foundation. only thing con is i wished it came with a pump!

Love it! Many people complain it's greasy. That is why yourself supposed to use it at night. It has mineral oil in it which I literally an oil. READ THE BACK PEOPLE. In the long run this stuff will help oily skin bc skin won't have to produce oil if it's already added. Once I rinse my face in the morning it's absolutely glowing and soft and supple. This doesn't cause breakouts.

I've only had this moisturizer for less than a day but it works really well! As someone with dry skin all year round, this product definitely does its job! I will definitely buy again! I personally don't mind the scent so it doesn't bother me. You don't need that much in order to moisturize your face (coming from me, that says a lot!) so it's definitely awesome.

- cheap and affordable
- large tub lasts forever
- Not good enough for extremely dry skin / dry air (I live an an area where winters avg around 1-10°F for reference). This does not prevent my skin from flaking, and it only works for me in the spring and summer unfortunately.
- consistency is thick and sometimes take a bit of extra work to smooth onto skin
- It contains mineral oil. This will make your skin look oily after.

I swear by Ponds. I once used it in my childhood and I went back to it recently. I love it because its hydrating, cheap and smells amazing. I suffer from dry skin and eczema so in the winter time this is a dream. I never will pay over $20 bucks for a face cream. This stuff is good if not better than facial moisturizers sold in Sephora. I wash my face just with Basis soap and apply this on after and my face is good for the day. Its a winner in my book.

Other than heavy-duty samples of EL overnight eye cream, nothing has made my skin feel as moisturized as Ponds. Since I can't afford EL, I tried every over-the-counter moisturizer I could get. All of them left my face feeling tight and uncomfortable.
I've finally settled on using Ponds cucumber cleanser (love the scent!), rinsing away with a warm washcloth and then putting a small dollop of Ponds Dry Skin Cream over my still-damp skin. If feels wonderful. I can't say much about the scent of this one, though. It's the same as when my mom used it decades ago and strikes me as the dreaded "old-ladyish." If there were an unscented version or updated scent, I'd buy it, but as it is, I'm still a happy camper with some thick, luxurious cold cream moisturizing my face!
I'll definitely be buying this every winter.

I didn't feel this really helped with my dry winter skin too much. However, the main reason I don't particularly like this moisturizer is the fact that it makes me break out. As soon as I stopped using it and switched to another moisturizer, my mild acne became almost nonexistent.

I've only been using this for about two weeks, but I really like it. My skin has been really dry this winter and after using this moisturizer, the dryness has disappeared. I definitely think I will purchase it again. There is a lot in the container, so it will probably last a while before I have to buy more.

My face was peeling from an allergic reaction to a more expensive cream. After the hydrocortisone from my doctor, I turned to this mild, no-fuss cream to fix my skin. I slathered it on 3 to 5 times a day. After 5 weeks of redness and peeling from the allergy, my skin is almost normal. I'm going to stick to this cheaper stuff.
The niacinamide, retinol, AHA, etc might sound exciting, and we are always drawn to the new stuff, but I would prefer bland and dependable to hives, redness and peeling. I have found some of the more expensive creams (Vichy, Lancome, etc) gave me little white bumps under my skin. I never experienced this with the Pond's. Tried and true.

This moisturizer is the best! I generally have dry skin year round, and this brutal winter in the northeast has made it worse...it seeps right in and leaves skin smooth and luminous..the price is an added bonus too! I would love it even more if it wasn't in a jar, but the moisturizer works so well for me, I will continue to buy it regardless.

Re: Red Fife Wheat
Elizabeth, it's taken me a while (hard to get to the computer these days ) but I wanted to say thanks for posting this article on sustainable farming - sounds like a great project they've got going there!
Re: Red Fife Wheat
I love the way so many of these posts are so timely when it comes to what I'm doing. My husband is the one with the green thumb and strong back when it comes to gardening. His dream is for us to live off everything he grows. So far he gardens about an acre of land. 2 summers ago he harvested the winter wheat (by hand and sickle) that he had planted as a cover crop the previous fall. It has sat in 5 five gallon buckets since then. I finally decided it was time to do something with it and figured out how to thresh and clean it. I've done one bucket so far. It's a lot of work because I don't have the equipment to do it properly. First I dump it in a bed sheet and stomp on it to separate the wheat from the chaff. Then I soak it in a large cooler so all the hulls come to the top and the seeds fall to the bottom. I remove the hulls then dry it on our large countertop outdoors or in our food dehydrator and then sift it again to get these little black things out of it. Those little black things were in my first attempt at bread and it was gritty. I grind it into flour in my little coffee grinder. Yesterday's bread was great. It seems like so many steps to clean it and it's very time consuming but very gratifying at the same time. Here are some pictures of the wheat before and after. As you can see in the after picture there are still some hulls on some of the seeds. I'm wondering how long the seed will keep and if it should be frozen or something.
Here's another thing I'm wondering, my freezer is packed with homegrown vegetables as are my cupboards with canned ones (enough tomatoes for pizza more than once a week), nearby hunters give us venison, we buy our beef and lamb from local farmers and we bake our own bread, why are my grocery bills still near $200.00 every week?
Re: Red Fife Wheat
The wheat looks really good. I'm sorry it's a pain to get to the end product, but it sounds as though it's worth it. The color of the wheat berries is beautiful. I don't know about storage. I know whole wheat flour goes off, but I don't know about the intact berries. Did one bucket make the container of berries, or is there more from that bucket?
I don't know about your grocery trips, but mine are always a lot more expensive when I don't use a list... but here, at least, the bills are waaay down with only 1 kid left. Even the toilet paper consumption is way down!
top things costing me money these days (at a guess, not sure): junk food, soft drinks, dog food, cheese, coffee, chicken and fish, and lunch meat for my sandwich dependent husband. Oh, and wine. But I don't usually buy that at the grocery store. I don't eat much junk food, but dh eats some. He's one of those people who can eat a salad and lose 5 pounds. I'm not. Oh well.

Re: Red Fife Wheat
Wow, those berries are great and I commend your efforts to turn them into flour and make bread - there must have been a huge sense of satisfaction when you bit into a slice of that bread!
I would love to be far more involved in the process of getting my food from field to table; I think we've become way too removed from it over the last century, and we're the losers for it.
But there does seem to be a bit of a pendulum-swing back to a more hands-on connection with our food - we oven builders are a part of it.
Grocery bills?! I'm not even going there!! Of course, it doesn't help that our grocery stores now sell wine, furniture, pharmacy fare, housewares, TV's, etc. ...
We often detour now, on our way home from work, to a very small grocery store that is way more user-friendly and mostly just stocks food. They don't always have everything I want but I'm not enticed by things I don't need, the staff are way more friendly and helpful and I can get in & out of there in a quarter of the time I would spend in the Superstore (yes, that's its actual name!). It's also open 24-7 .
Re: Red Fife Wheat
I cleaned more wheat this weekend. Now we have about 16 lbs of berries. It's kind of fun actually. After seeing me clean it my husband decided maybe he should plant a lot more next year.
I was watching Oprah the other day (I'm always embarassed to admit that) and they were talking about Blue Zones, places where where people live the longest. What the areas all had in common was that they got lots of exercise, mostly by growing their own food or tending their land. They also ate food grown locally. None of them mentioned gym memberships. Sardinia was one of the blue zones. A centenarian credited eating bread, cheese and red wine to his longevity. I like that. All these areas were rural. I made my husband watch this (I recorded Oprah) and it just convinced him we need to work harder in the garden.
I also shop at a superstore where I end up buying more than I need. I should try going to a small grocery where I'm not tempted to buy stuff that's not necessary. I live in a rural area though and the nearby grocery stores (if you can call them that) sell Boones Farm so I can't get wine, olives, good cheese................. They do have good meats and local produce though but I don't really need that. What would be nice would be if many of us on the forum lived near each other and could trade and barter more. Or could have a community garden/farm. Elizabeth, I know and hour and 20 minutes is a long way to drive to garden but if you wanted to use some of our land to plant a crop that doesn't need a lot of care you're certainly welcome to do that. We have lots of open land that gets lots of sunshine.
Re: Red Fife Wheat
Wow, what a generous offer. I'll give it some thought, but off the top of my head I can't think of a viable way to take advantage of it. Thank you so much.
We're trying to do more of the "eat local, shop local" too. I tend to avoid the big superstore for the most part. I dislike the long lines, the "shopping distractions", and really, the business model in general. There's a truly local grocer here, and I shop there as well as at Kroger. What I can't get at one, I can get at the other. We don't have a good farmer's market here, but in the next town over they have a very good one.
I canned and froze much more this year than I have since my kids were very small. Back then I made grape juice, lots of jam, and generally had enough tomatoes and tomato products to keep me in them all year. I had so many tomatoes one year I actually made ketchup. (I don't recommend it. While it uses a lot of tomatoes, it doesn't taste right!!) I'll probably do even more next year- I plan on doing a lot more with trellises to gain vertical space.
I also think I'll be trying to do a winter garden next year- I wanted to this year but time got away from me and winter is VERY early this year. I want to grow a lot of salad type greens under cover next winter. I may still try to do some this year, I might get some things to germinate if I can get the cover on and warm up the ground some..

HEALTH, Real Estate, Islands, Woods Play Underwater Peoples Festival
By Tom Breihan on April 15, 2010 at 11:40 a.m. EDT
As someone who went to college in upstate New York, I can tell you that the region is (1) incredibly cold, and (2) completely off the radar for most touring bands, or at least most touring bands that don't play hardcore. But two young men named Gabriel and Shane are working to change that. On July 24, the two plan to stage the Mountain Man Fest at Saratoga City Center in Saratoga Springs, New York.
Underwater Peoples Throw a Party
By Tom Breihan on August 12, 2009 at 6:15 p.m. EDT
Underwater Peoples, the D.C.-based boutique label that's released much of the sun-glazed summery lo-fi pop we've been liking so much lately, is throwing itself a party. The Underwater Peoples late summer showcase will go down at the D.I.Y. Brooklyn venue the Market Hotel on August 22, and it'll feature a whole ton of people associated with the label, including alternate-universe marquee names Real Estate, Air Waves, Ducktails, and Beach Fossils.
Also on the bill: Family Portrait, Pill Wonder, Andrew Cedermark, Dana Jewell, Liam the Younger, Fluffy Lumbers, Alex Bleeker & the Freaks, Frat Dad, Big Troubles, and DJ Etienne. And yeah, go ahead and feel like a total herb because you've only heard of like two of those bands.
The show starts early and costs a very reasonable $5. Fellow D.C. label head Ian MacKaye would be proud.

Protect Shelter Dogs with Vaccinations
Roll over image to zoom in
Every year in the United States, millions of dogs are left at animal shelters. Dogs that are healthy, well-fed, and vaccinated against disease have much better odds of finding a happy forever home.
Preventable diseases like Bordetella (kennel cough) can stop an adoption in its tracks - not to mention being a danger to unprotected populations in the shelter. Although shelters try to meet the needs of their animals, they may not be able to afford the timely administration of much-needed vaccinations.
With your help, Greatergood.org is changing that. We can vaccinate two million shelter animals in just two years, protecting them from common, contagious, preventable diseases.
Together, we can give shelter dogs a shot at life. Just $10 vaccinates 5 shelter dogs, and every donation helps.
Free Standard Shipping in the U.S. on your entire cart when you donate $15.00 or more in our Gift That Gives More™ program. See Current Promotions for details.
Why a Gift That Gives More™ is a smart, effective donation.
100% of your donation will go to the program described above as a grant through GreaterGood.org. GreaterGood stores do not receive any profit from donations through this Gift That Gives More™; we bring it to you in the spirit of the greater good. We even pay the credit card transaction fee, so every cent of your donation goes to charity.
Please note: A free downloadable certificate is available to print for easy gift giving for any non-disaster related Gift That Gives More™. The "gift message" field during check-out does not apply to your Gift That Gives More™ certificate.
Your donation is 100% tax-deductible in the U.S.A.
You will receive a receipt from GreaterGood.org for your taxes. GreaterGood.org has ultimate authority and discretion with regard to the distribution of its funds. All expenditures made are consistent with the exempt purposes of GreaterGood.org.
