Bill to require vote to contract out library services passes committee
SACRAMENTO — A bill that would require cities to conduct a vote of the people to authorize the contracting out of library services to a private firm advanced in the Legislature on Wednesday, but only after its author pledged to consider whether some step short of an election would suffice.
Assemblyman Das Williams, D-Santa Barbara, whose district includes Ventura and much of Oxnard, introduced the bill as the city of Ventura is in the process of exploring options for its library services — options that might include, as Camarillo and Moorpark have already done, turning over operation of its library to a private company.
The measure, AB 438, was approved by the Assembly Local Government Committee on a 5-1 vote, with all five Democrats in support.
Williams said he believes it essential that there be a full public discussion before a decision is made to convert such a basic public service to a privately run operation.
"Many people have found out that their libraries have been privatized before realizing it had been a topic of discussion," he said, noting several cities have recently contracted with the Maryland-based operations firm Library Systems and Services Inc.
Williams said he would consider removing the requirement for an election "if there is a better mechanism that provides the kind of public notice and accountability that's necessary."
Kyra Ross, a lobbyist for the League of California Cities, said requiring voter approval of "an administrative decision" would set a dangerous precedent. To mandate a vote on the issuance of a city contract, she said, "undermines the ability of a city council to do its job."
Former Assemblyman Richard Dickerson, now a member of the Redding City Council, testified against the bill, saying his city's decision to contract with LSSI was based solely on its desire to keep from having to close its library.
"It was not a push to privatize," he said. "It was a push to keep our library open. We did not turn over control of the decision-making to LSSI."
The measure was supported by a number of labor unions, including SEIU, the California Teachers Association and the California Labor Federation, AFL-CIO.
The bill will next be heard by the Appropriations Committee.

would've still rather had Brentz... but I'm good with this
would've still rather had Brentz... but I'm good with this
2010 Mock Draft Selections (picking for Rays)
Bryce Brentz
Brandon Workman
Kris Bryant
Matt Lipka
Rick Hague
Not my favorite pick, but it's definitely not a disappointing pick. I'm satisfied.
Catcher, Miami
Born July 18, 1989> Draft Day Age=20.9
Ht/Wt... 6-2/210, Bats Switch / Throws Right
Composite Review...
Grandal's value is automatically high because of three magic words: Switch-hitting catcher. The youngster from Miami has good raw power, another facet of his game that will aide his rising stock. He has more of it from the left side, but there are questions about his mechanics. From the right side, there are concerns about his bat speed and follow-through.
Defensively, he is solid if not spectacular. He is hardly regarded as a fast runner, but his quick feet will allow him to make necessary movements behind the plate. His skills will continue to improve, a necessity given the fact that he is expected to move through the minor leagues quickly. But make no mistake – it is his hitting that has scouts excited, and his hitting that will tell how much success he has in the pros.
--Michael Seff
Hopefully the Reds can get him to sign his bonus demands scare me a bit.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
Not bad at all. I liked Brentz but I'm fine with Grandal.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Going to handle Chapman?
Where does that leave Mes? Seems like they're going to be in similar places developmentally moving in to 2011.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
U of Miami two of three years.
Link to a scouting report on Grandal:
Tough sign, but if they don't sign him and take the pick next year, I'm OK with that.
Wonder if this ends the Soto experiment?

Customer Reviews of Bose QuietComfort 15

Exactly as advertised.
QC15 Headset Review8/5/2013
I ordered a Bose QC15 headset that was advertised in like-new condition. Upon receiving it, I was surprised to see that the headset looked as if it had never even been touched. All of the cables were still tie wrapped, and even the OEM battery was there. The headset works perfectly, and I am a happy customer.
great nose cancelling!7/31/2013
the best i've heard!
Fantastic headphones7/31/2013
While these are not the best in terms sound quality, they are fantastic in terms of comfort and noise cancellation.
Excellent in every category7/15/2013
I bought these Bose Comfort 15 noise cancelling headphones as reconditioned. They arrived within a week--excellent. The packaging and instructions as well as the headphones themselves looked like new. They were a gift and the recipient was totally thrilled.
good seller7/10/2013
quick shipping, no issues
Best Noise Cancelling Headphone so far7/1/2013
I have tried other noise cancelling headphone like able-planet, but this one is 10 times better. It actually works. Very comfortable to wear all day long. One downside, it comes with iPhone compatible extension and it does not work on Samsung phone.
Excellent Retailer6/29/2013
Product was as described. Excellent job shipping. Would use them again.

Good Headphones6/18/2013
Good headphones for a decent price. But dont fall for the "expedited shipping" charge. I paid for it and the site said "ships in 24-48 hours", and it shippped 5 days later1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
The QC15 is very comfortable6/13/2013
I really like this product, and but for the price I would recommend this to many people that have to use active noise cancellation. It is very comfortable, but the quality of the headphones could be finished with higher quality material for a 300 dollar headset (more metal, less plastic). The inability to use the head phones with no batteries is also a bummer. There is a slight overpressure from the headphones when they are turned on with no audio source.
Fast Shipping. Would use again.
super good headphone5/31/2013
the quality is very good......contains all the accessories......

Excellent sound quality.1/20/2013
Anyone who is a musician or an avid music lover will definitely appreciate the excellent sound quaity of these headphones. The noise cancelling feature helps to enhance the way music is heard. One of the greatest pleasures of life is listening to great music in a quiet environment. These headphones are great for the enjoyment of this pleasure. They help you hear the music the way the artist intended for it to be heard. I would recommend them to anyone who wishes to share this experience.
Great Product11/15/2012
This is really great. After I have used this Bose QC15, I can't turn back to my old headphones at all.
Great Cancelation!8/22/2012
The headphones fit comfortably and reduce the hmm from the AC units with no problem. Wearing them for extended periods of time is easy.
best noise canceling earphone7/26/2012
best noise canceling earphone with good balance of the sound qaulity and noise canceling effectiveness.
As described - great noise cancellation6/6/2012
I like them. Have been saving and looking for a good price for a while. Even though these are not hi-fi level phones, overpriced, only above average sound quality, they do what they are designed to do - cancel the noise, it does it really well. Some experience pressure, for me (I guess I am less sensitive or insensitive:) it works fine.
Good noise cancelling6/5/2012
Good Noise Cancelling, but doesn't work as a regular headphones with power off.
Overall, the comfort and the high quality headphon5/28/2012
Overall, the comfort and the high quality of the noise cancellation ability move me toward recommending these headphones if you travel frequently on mass-transportation vehicles (airplanes, buses, trains, subways, etc.), and can afford the high pricing. I liked the product, great quality specially with Spotify. The only thing they can improve in this product is noise canceling, I should be able to turn of noise cancelling when its not needed. In this product music turns off when you want to turn off noise cancelling.
Nice headphones5/23/2012
After trying several less expensive brands, I opted for for the Bose and was not disappointed. In every way, these headphones are worth the price and deliver significantly beyond other noise canceling headphones. My only comment - not a complaint - is the feeling of pressure on the inner ear created by the noise canceling system which is common in all similar systems. If you are a serious traveler, don't waist time and money with other NC headphones - Switch to these Bose headphones and you will not be disappointed.
Nothing comes close to it!5/16/2012
I tried various noise cancellation headphones. If noise canceling during travel is what you are after, nothing comes close to the BOSE. Still comfortable after hours of use, and battery last long enough for about 10-20 hours of usage.
THE GOOD. - Very good sound quality - Comfortable (for on ear headphones) - Long battery life and easy to carry around a spare AAA battery - iPod lead is great - Carry case is good - Noise cancelling is excellent Having said that, the only drawback is that these headphones need batteries to function and once those batteries are dead, you cannot use them at all. In other words, you cannot use Bose without the noise cancellation feature. A small price to pay, especially if you use rechargeables and always have a pair on hand like I do.
Bose delivers4/16/2012
I was looking for noise cancelling headphones for an upcoming trip to Europe, as well as to use while studying. I spent 2 days reading different reviews and comparisons, and while sound quality was rated better in some headphones, there were no reviews at all in which the competition bested Bose quietcomfort headphones in noise cancelling ability. This, to me was the major deciding factor. I have played around with them for a couple hours and remain impressed and happy with my purchase.
The best noise cancelling headphone in my opinion4/15/2012
The only thing that I don't like: it's useless if the battery ran out of juice. Make sure to have a backup battery close by. Other than that it's a perfect noise cancelling headphone that I have tried. I've tried Beats, Sony, and Pioneer. I guess you get what you paid for because it's expensive!!

Elmont, NY (PRWEB) July 28, 2014
Recently, a bank robber was caught on video surveillance burglarizing the Astoria Federal Savings Bank in Queens, NY. Thanks to the commercial surveillance footage, the authorities discovered the suspect was involved in a string of robberies in New York City. Whether it's a small business or a large corporation, no company is exempt from being burglarized.
"Commercial surveillance cameras are powerful crime prevention tools that every business owner should have access to daily," says Matthew DiMicco, owner of Total Security. "In addition to robberies, security cameras can help reduce internal and external business problems, such as accidents and employee relation issues."
Retailers lose a staggering $45 billion annually due to theft, according to Business Insider. A business owner can avoid becoming another statistic or at least greatly diminish the after effects of a crime incident. Mr. DiMicco suggests that business owners take the necessary preventive measures well in advance and not to wait until something happens to take action. He also suggests the following tips to help protect a business:
Business owners and government agencies that are considering upgrading or installing a new commercial security camera system can receive a complimentary security evaluation through Total Security.

I recently came upon a new book called Sicilian Genealogy and Heraldry by Louis Mendola. It's one of the only books I have seen that specifically addresses Sicilian genealogy. I just ordered it myself so I will update this post when I have read it. Not too long ago, I compiled a Listmania List called Sicilian Family Tree's Recommended Genealogy Books. It includes my favorite Italian genealogy books, plus others that can help you with your research in American resources. As always, please visit my bookstore for numerous helpful genealogy selections including dictionaries, guides, genealogy software and more.
Check This Out!
I got a sweet message recently from Hawthorne Community Center in New Jersey. The kids there have been using Sicilian Family Tree to help them with a genealogy project they are working on and their teacher sent me a message to say thank you and to share with me a website they found that they thought I might like to know about. So I thought I would share it with all of you too. Thanks Ms. Kinney and kids at Hawthorne Community Center! http://www.homeadvisor.com/

I'm usually a die hard Coty Airspun girl but I was having trouble figuring out loose powder in my vintage compact, so I bought this and depotted it to stick in there. It compares favorably with Airspun -- I swatched them side by side on my hand and this one is just as silky and finely milled. I would say it's not quite as invisible as Airspun translucent and has to be patted and finessed a bit more but it's pretty stinkin good for about $2. I am pretty pale but by no means the fairest person I know, and the Translucent works for me.

I bought this for a dollar cause I was no where near a decent place to find makeup. I suggest you apply this with a brush or sacrifice looking like you're on coke. Overall, I was impressed that it kept me matte for an hour (I have extremely oily skin). But this product is filled with parabens and made me break out for the first time in a year. I just bought this for fun at a humongous dollar store I was having too much fun at. My skin is sensitive and it's worth spending $30 for a foundation that won't break you out but keep the skin healthier and match your skin tone.

I struggle with a very oily tzone year round but also deal with all over oliness in the summer. I must have a travel friendly shine control powder on me and I always go from brand to brand. I've used this cheap powder in the past with no complaints. I feel that it does a decent job controlling my oil. I wouldn't say that this is longwear, I usually have to reapply throughout the day. The texture is not the best but considering it is a $2 powder, I'm not expecting HE finely miled quality. As for the finish, there is a trick to apply translucent white powder. Never rub/smear the puff of powder in big circles all over your face which I've done in the past. You will get casper face by doing this. When working with translucent powder, always start off with a little and build upon that. Start with a tiny smidge on the puff and pat on the oil spot firmly and roll the puff in a upward motion. The oil spot will be matte and you will not see a white cast by doing this technique. I'm NC40 and by applying this powder the correct way, I don't get a white face. Also, be patient when applying any white shine control powder. Take your time to pat and roll on each oily section until your face is at your desired matte level. For the price, you can't beat it but if you are looking for a more refined texture in a face powder, I would suggest something like Shiseido's translucent powder.

I hate that this has talc in it, but I love it because it works well. I do find that it's easy to put too much on, which ends up making me look chalky. The container is fairly flimsy, but it does the job, and the sponge is utterly useless. I just use a little poof and roll it onto my skin. I probably won't repurchase because I think there are much better products out there, but it's nice to have on hand.

um this powder is just okay. it is vey chalky and clings to my dry patches. it does a pretty job of controlling my oil. it also matches my skin but it is a little too dark for me (i am NW05-10 for reference.) for the price it is good. but i do not think i will be buying this again.

This powder is awful. It doesnt blend in well at all, so you end up looking like a chalky clown. I hate this stuff. I thought for the price I would try it, but I wish I had not purchased this. Would not buy again. I am pretty pale, but I think you would need to be goth to enjoy this, it is way too chalky. Seriously, similar to if you took chalk and ground it up and put it on you face.

I had to delete the review I did for this product a while back. Unfortunately it's caused me to break out pretty bad. I'm really gutted. I thought it was sooo perfect. It's a great match for super pale girls and it gave pretty decent oil control. I want to love it, but I just can't. I'd still recommend it, but it may not work for those with blemish-prone skin.

The Effects of Headphones on Listener HRTF Preference
Listener-selected HRTFs have the potential to provide the accuracy of an individualized HRTF without the time and resources required for HRTF measurements. This study tests listeners' HRTF preference for three different sets of headphones. HRTF datasets heard over the noise-cancelling Bose Aviation headset were selected as having good externalization more often than those heard over Sennheiser HD650 open headphones or Sony MDR-7506 closed headphones. It is thought that the Bose headset's flatter frequency response is responsible for its superior externalization. This suggests that in systems where high quality headphones are not available, post-processing equalization should be applied to account for the effect of the headphones on HRTF reproduction.

Last year the glass lid on my cooker just shattered after I had cleaned it, the glass went all over the kitchen but luckily we were in another room. and today opened my oven door and that just shattered too, the oven hadn't been on so was cold and I didn't even touch it, have seen other reviews off people that have had the same thing happen to them, but hotpoint don't seem to think there is a problem. Getting rid of mine now and would never buy another hotpoint cooker the glass is dangerous.

About the Seller
Seller Description
eForCity is a one-stop shopping destination for all the electronic accessories you'll ever need in your home or on the go. Having made the Inc 500 in 2006 and the Internet Retailer Top 500 e-retailer list last year, you may run into us or Jack, one of the founding eForCitizens in the media. Minus the glitz, we just want to be the guy who's got your back when your dog chews up your charger. You know those mom-n-pop stores that seem to have everything under the sun, with the friendly guy up-front who knows his gadgets and lets you use the employee bathroom? That, is what we strive to be style line-height: As our business continues to grow, we will continue to bring you the latest cell phone accessories, camera accessories, MP3 accessories, AV cables, gaming accessories, computer accessories and flying animals. Yes, even flying animals (sometimes, even we're not sure if we run the business or if they do). eForCity was conceived on one fateful night in 2000. We were sitting in a garage and contemplating life. After the second slice of pizza, an idea came to our young adventurous minds. No, we didn't start a rock band, even though that would have been cool. We decided that the world has had enough of overpriced gadget accessories and something needed to be done. So, we started selling bargain electronic accessories online right from that garage, with a makeshift warehouse made of cardboard boxes. Soon after, eForCity.com was born. Ten years later, eForCity has grown to be a go-to destination for gadget lovers, bargain hunters, geeks and all the cool kids alike. Sometimes we can't believe we've grown so much either. Though we are pretty sentimental about that garage, our sunny California headquarter has been home to eForCitizens since 2000. Complete with an ever- expanding warehouse, we insist on shipping locally to guarantee you the best quality fulfillment and most efficient delivery. Did we mention our warehouse also has a colony of flying monkeys?

Super cute.
Fits true to size, ordered a large and I'm 5'8" 38x30x41. Really soft and cute, great for patriotic holidays but not too tacky looking to restrict only to those holidays. Glad I got it.

text: Big Data Zuckerberg's activist group hires lobbyists to help push immigration reform March 29, 2013 2:32 PM Ricardo Bilton 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Mark Zuckerberg: Billionaire, social network tycoon, and now, activist. Last week the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the Facebook CEO was planning his own advocacy group, and now a new report from Politco says the group is getting it own lobbyists: big shot firms Peck, Madigan, Jones & Stewart and Fierce, Isakowitz & Blalock. While we don't know many details about Zuckerberg's group (like its name, for instance), the selection of the two firms — and their lead lobbyists — meshes well with one the main issues the group will focus on: immigration, which has become a major issue for tech companies. Zuckerberg's interest in immigration is unsurprising. After all, making it easier for people to enter and work in the United States would certainly give tech companies like Facebook access to more bright minds. So while immigration in the United States has as of late been focused on our southern border, Zuckerberg's interests are much larger — and potentially hugely beneficial to Facebook.

Roseway planting Feb. 14th will beautify park blocks
Urban Forestry is adding to the romance of Roseway's 72nd Avenue park blocks with a Valentine's Day tree planting. The planting will help the Roseway Neighborhood Association complete Phase One of a decade-long effort to rejuvenate and beautify the four blocks. Some 19 trees purchased with money from the City's Tree Planting and Preservation Fund will help fill gaps in a massive planting done back in 2003. That earlier planting was needed because row after row of identical clones of Thundercloud plum planted by civic boosters back in the 1950s were dying out. One of the drawbacks of that uniform planting of a single clone of plum is that all the trees die after about 50 years.
Neighborhood resident Sean Batty envisioned replacing the monoculture on 72nd Avenue with different species of longer-lived trees, namely chestnuts, oaks and hackberries. Supported by the City of Portland and Chad Honl from Friends of Trees, some 80 trees were planted on Nov. 15, 2003. About 75% of those trees survived to become established and are well on their way to becoming magnificent shade trees. The new planting is to fill gaps in the perimeter left by trees that were hit by cars or didn't survive for one reason or another.
Because chestnuts and oaks have thrived in the park blocks, the new planting will showcase additional members of Fagaceae, a great family of 600 species that contains oaks, chestnuts and beeches among others. Not only will that add to the botanical education value of the blocks, but the new beeches, oaks and chestnuts will become large trees. With potential lifespans well over a century, these trees' spreading canopies will also provide Roseway with significant summer shade, cooling the air on hot summer days, absorbing road noise from nearby Sandy Boulevard , and prolonging the life of street pavement.
Batty has said of Phase One that "…the project demonstrates how citizens and bureau can work together to achieve great results." He already envisions a future Phase 2 that at each end of each block will combine the vibrant fall color of ginkgos and katsuras with spring-flowering trees set off by evergreen sequoias. The result will create a majestic local legacy for Roseway residents well into the next century.

1 - A sweet new magnolia
Urban Forestry has added a second American magnolia to the list of evergreen choices, the northern sweetbay Magnolia virginiana 'Jim Wilson.' Trademarked as Moonglow, this cultivar was introduced commercially only in 2001. It was selected for being more evergreen than other sweetbays from the northern part of this tree's range and for its upright growth to 35 feet. Spread is 18-20 feet. The semi-elliptic leaves are silvery white underneath, and unlike southern magnolia are thin, delicate looking and not leathery. The cream-colored, cup-shaped flowers are lemon-scented. They appear in late spring and sporadically through the summer. Seeds are glossy red and appear in clusters resembling a cone. Birds find these seeds attractive. Bark is smooth and gray. The trees can take a few years to fill in, but may never be quite as densely branched nor make as deep a shade as the southern magnolia.
2 A southern belle that endures northern winters
Another southerner that has made itself at home in the north is Magnolia grandiflora. The official state flower of Mississippi, this evergreen tree with its large, white flowers (up to 8" across) scented of lemons started a craze for North American garden trees in Britain in the mid-1700s, and was a prize tree in the garden of the Duchess of Beaufort as early as 1730. Although eclipsed later when the colored flowers of Asian species arrived, Southern magnolia remains a popular park, garden and street tree the world over.
Growing natively in the South at elevations below 500 feet, not all cultivars are hardy enough to survive Portland's cold winters or snow and ice storms. One that has endured is M. grandiflora 'Edith Bogue,' which although originally from Florida withstands snow and ice better than the species and most cultivars.
Edith Bogue grows at a moderate pace 30' to possibly 40' tall and 15' to 20' wide. Its lustrous leaves are narrower than the species, with only a hint of brown indumentum underneath. Flowering is from late spring and sporadically through the summer. Like most magnolias, the orange-pink seeds are attractive to birds, which will pick them from the 3" to 5" long cucumber-like aggregate containing them.
3 - Bambooleaf oak
Many members of the oak family are actually evergreen. Perhaps none makes a more attractive street tree than Quercus myrsinifolia. Widespread across China, Korea and Japan, it is one of the few trees also native to Laos, Vietnam and northern Thailand that are hardy enough to grow in Portland. Called bambooleaf because of the long, unlobed leaves, this oak will grow rapidly to 30-35 feet, perhaps more with time. It forms a densely branched, round headed tree with smooth, gray bark. Although there is no fall color change, new leaves emerge an attractive silvery purplish red during the growing season. Specimens planted within the past 20 years are already a respectable size and have proven tough as nails, sailing untroubled through ice storms and snowfalls.
4 - Silverleaf oak
The southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico share a common flora rich in evergreen oaks. One that has proven hardy in Portland during the past two decades is the silverleaf oak Quercus hypoleucoides. The silvery undersides of the leaf give this tree its common name. Silverleaf will astonish with its fast growth, forming a densely branched tree to 40 feet or more in no time. The leathery leaves are gray-green above and make the tree incredibly drought tolerant once established. Two silverleaf oaks planted near the Visitors' Center at Hoyt Arboretum already show how equally well the tree withstands cold and heat if given the sun they crave.
5, 6, and 7 - Oregon's own broadleaved evergreens
Most Portlanders are familiar with the native madrone Arbutus menziesii. It has spectacularly sensual exfoliating bark that emerges with a snakelike olive color and ripens to a rich ocher. Related to rhododendrons, the trees boast big clusters of bell-shaped white flowers in spring, followed by orange fruits relished by local bird. Far rarer than when frequent fires set by Native Americans kept encroaching conifers at bay, madrone does not transplant easily and requires excellent drainage and a sunny location. Watering it in summer once it's established can actually kill it. Introduced diseases have also taken a heavy toll of trees around the city. But if you have the right conditions, particularly in a yard, it can be a valued wildlife tree that's pretty to look at year round.
Drive just a few hours south of Portland and a whole new world of broadleaved evergreen trees begins to appear. In addition to more madrone, you'll see trees like canyon live oak (Quercus chrysolepis), and Oregon myrtle (Umbellularia californica). Known in California as California bay, the latter tree is a relative of the true bay laurel from the Mediterranean. It makes a rather large shade tree 60 to 90 feet tall. Tough and tolerant of drought and shade, Oregon myrtle has leaves that are heavily spicy when crushed. This has given rise to the nickname the "headache tree," bestowed by people overcome by the pungent aroma. One key drawback to the tree is that suckers sprout regularly from the lower trunk and require removal to avoid creating a multi-stemmed monster. The tree also produces olive-sized fruits, beloved by birds but less so by gardeners.
Far better behaved in cultivation is the canyon live oak. Although on dry ridges it can be a little shrub, on good soil it becomes a stately, even majestic tree 60 to 80 feet tall. Its young leaves somewhat resemble those of holly, although generally smaller. Older trees seem to produce leaves that are less armed than those of young trees. The 1 to 2-inch long acorns of this tree were a staple food of many Native American people, who leached out the tannins before boiling or roasting them. Band-tailed pigeons gobble up the acorns whole, as will any resident squirrels. A deep tap root means this tree will endure the driest summers unruffled while maples and other eastern trees wilt and defoliate early.
8 & 9 - Welcome Californians
California native interior live oak (Quercus wislizeni) is noted for its exceptional drought and heat tolerance, being able to survive on as little as 15 inches of rain a year. Interior live oak can reach 70' but is usually shorter. Often as broad as it is tall and densely branched, the tree shelters many birds and animals in inclement weather, and feeds them with its narrow, cone-shaped acorns. These sit deeply in their cup, taking up to two years to ripen. The leathery leaves can be smooth, toothed or spiny like a holly. On young trees, bark is smooth and light gray, becoming fissured and darker with age.
A cousin of interior live oak, also widespread in California, is the blue oak (Quercus douglasii). The scientific name of blue oak honors the same David Douglas recognized in the name of Oregon's state tree, the Douglas-fir. The common name refers to the pretty powder blue or blue-green color of the leaves. In Portland's colder winters the tree will defoliate but put out a flush of new leaves in spring. When winters are mild, the leaves persist. (photo https://www.flickr.com/photos/john_d_rusk)
Native Americans had many uses for blue oak, eating the acorns and using the wood for everything from firewood to bait, medicine, dyes, utensils, games, toys and construction materials.
10 - Southern grace
The plantation Tara may have been more myth than accurate history but one thing Gone With The Wind did get right is the magnificent Southern live oaks that kept pulling Scarlett back to her childhood home. There are Quercus virginiana trees that survived the Civil War still standing today, as this is a long-lived tree often lasting centuries. In that time, these gracious trees can attain heights of 60' with an even broader spread, casting welcome shade on hot summer days. They have well-anchored roots, allowing them to survive frequent hurricanes. Dark green and unlobed, Southern live oak leaves have smooth margins, are leathery, and are lighter-colored underneath. They range from 1 inch to 6 inches in length. Like blue oak, the leaves may drop in especially cold winters, with the tree leafing out again in spring. (photo https://www.flickr.com/photos/silkcut)
11 - The noble laurel
The leaf spicing up your next pasta probably came from the true bay laurel Laurus nobilis. Just be sure to remove any whole leaves before serving! A native of lands around the Mediterranean, this tree's aromatic leaves were used to make wreaths to crown victors in the Olympic Games. In ancient Athens, retired Olympic champions were fed at public expense for life, giving rise to the phrase, "to rest on one's laurels" rather than achieving anything new. If you grow this tree you will have a ready supply of leaves to cook with, as the tree is densely clothed in foliage. Bay laurel is capable of reaching 30 feet or more with a spread of 20 feet. The small yellowish flowers along the branch stems are followed by a small, one-seeded shiny black fruit eaten by birds.
12 - A long-lived African and European tree
Few trees from Africa can survive in Portland but most of those that can hail from the mountains of Algeria and Morocco, where winter snow and freezing temperatures are not uncommon. The holly or holm oak (Quercus ilex) is from that region as well as the Iberian Peninsula, Italy and Malta, where it is the national tree. The Latin name for the species means "holly" because leaves on young trees can be somewhat spiny, resembling those of a holly although not approaching it in prickliness. However, as trees mature leaf spininess becomes less pronounced. The leaves are pale white underneath. Acorns are long and quite pointed at the tip. Bark is dark brown to almost black, with many cracks and fissures forming a maze of small plates and ridges.
In Morocco, holly oak grows alongside Atlas cedar. It can reach 60 to 80 feet in height with a spread up to 60 feet or more. Those forests are home to an endangered primate, the Barbary macaque. Holly oaks are very long lived. The first ones planted in England in the 1500s are still living. There are reports of the trees reseeding in England and elsewhere, so it might be best to avoid planting this tree if you live near a natural area.
Why Do Evergreen Trees Matter?
In any city east of the Cascades as far as New England, winter can be depressing. Skeletal, bare-limbed, deciduous trees dominate northern cities, relieved only by a few hardy evergreen conifers. Given Portland's mild climate, our urban forest could look a lot greener even in winter than those dreary northern cityscapes. But it doesn't. Why is that?
The reason is a heavy reliance on deciduous trees that lose their leaves each fall and don't green up till spring warmth returns. Tree inventories done by Urban Forestry show that in built up parts of the city, 90% to 98% or more of the street trees become leafless each fall. This lifeless landscape makes winter more challenging – emotionally and environmentally – than it has to be.
A legacy of leafless winters
Planting deciduous trees is to be expected in places where polar vortexes can send temperatures plummeting well below zero. Many of our most common urban trees – elms, ashes, maples and crabapples to name a few - come from mid-latitude forests with much colder weather than we get. Trees from those areas are well-suited to survive bitter winters and maximize their growth in warmer months, irrigated by frequent summer rains.
The pioneers who founded Portland quite naturally planted their new parks and streets with deciduous trees familiar to them from their home states. For example, as early as the 1870s the downtown park blocks were planted with stately elms native to the eastern U.S. Even when Oregon natives were tried as street trees, the one most commonly experimented with was the deciduous bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum).
Although Portland is actually north of such icebox cities as Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, and Toronto, Canada, we experience much warmer winters. As importantly, rain all but ceases here from July to September. When rains do return in autumn, deciduous trees are starting to shut down. Just when we need them most, deciduous trees lose the very leaves we require to help intercept moisture and slow flooding.
The obvious solution to our winter-rainfall woes is to plant more evergreen trees. A lot more. Currently, evergreen trees make up the thinnest slice of the city's street tree pie. You can count the percentage they represent on one hand. While our parklands have respectable amounts of native evergreen conifers (mostly Douglas-fir, western red-cedar and western hemlock), the streets where most Portlanders live do not.
To encourage change, Urban Forestry recently increased the number of evergreen choices on its Approved Street Tree Planting Lists, available for download at portlandoregon.gov/trees. In particular, the number of broadleaved evergreens has increased to an even dozen. In addition to the stalwart Magnolia grandiflora 'Edith Bogue' from the eastern U.S., it's now possible to select from several exciting new trees.

Apparently this minor change in my appearance is enough to trigger an extremely different reaction from strangers. This is the only explanation I can find for the fact that in the past three weeks, since dying my hair, I have attracted more rudeness and abuse than in the three years previous to that.
Now I know as business woman tottering around in heels and as an avid fitness fanatic that my poor feet go through the mill more than most but I never stopped to give them the TLC they deserved. I feel after what I learnt on this day I will do.
The thing with balance is, it requires restraint and I know how difficult that can be when all those amazing trends strut down the catwalk, but you must be strong! What is your existing style? What trends work with that?
We need to stop polarising and start including. Instead of responding to the thin beauty ideal by simply replacing the images with a fatter demographic, we need to start featuring people who are thin and fat and everything in between alongside each other.
We would choose real women. And not only would they be non-models but, if we were to show their faces, then we would tell their stories and celebrate their achievements. No more anonymous mannequins.

I was 49 when we moved to LA. Long gone were the years when I might have had the confidence to carve down the boardwalk on roller blades in a bikini. ...
Do we really want that bodycon dress, that we'd never have even looked at pre-bump because it's hot maternity fashion property thanks to Abbey Clancey, or go dotty for Kate Middleton's polka dots because the media went mad for their maternity style?
It is funny how an item of clothing can be an emotional trigger or can be a reminder to you of great, good and bad times for you. I'll always love the teenage O'Neill years as they represented freedom, laughs and so much learning but for the 20s the lost their love for me.
You may call me shallow and argue that when a woman is pregnant, it's more about how her baby is developing than the way she looks and yes to some extent I agree. But with hormones raging and that smidgen of self-doubt that comes with your changing figure, it makes you feel good when you look nice.
First we wanted more representation for plus size women in modelling. Then we had plus size women 'reclaiming' the term. Then we had a nineties pop star say she disapproved of stores selling clothes in 'unhealthy' dress sizes. Now finally we have people saying we should drop the term 'plus size' altogether. Where will it all end?
I used to have straight hair when I was little. Then one day (I'm not sure when) it just exploded into a mass of curl and frizz. Now I'm one of those poor souls who have to put up with the daily (read: hourly) battle of having curly hair.
This war on American Apparel has got to stop - least of all because it's just giving the company exactly what it wants. But the ASA has got to realise that it's a complete waste of time to point a finger at one company in particular without pointing a finger at the industry as a whole.
As you enter the exhibition, you are met with the face of Alexander McQueen merging into his trademark skull, which for me signified the work and the person merging into the visionary he became. Known for his legendary catwalks and theatrical style, this has been translated into exhibition form.
Lee Alexander McQueen was a rare talent - he had that scarce combination of superb craftsmanship and extraordinary vision. And both of these pillars of his strength are on show in this stunning new exhibition of his work.


text: You do not need high speed film for star trails. Star trails photography is not about perfection in imaging, it is just for a bit of amusement and interest, particularly if you get plenty of star trails and can research just what the patterns represent. ISO100, preferably reversal slightly underexposed, will be excellent. The smaller the aperture, the larger the number of star trails and the greater the colour shift due to reciprocity failure. Lens choice is a perrsonal one: the wider the lens, the greater the view but star trails will always be visible, and can be made even more appealing with a strong silhouetted subject like a rock, monument, old bar/building etc. My EOS1N takes care of star trails unattended with its intervalometer and usually a 24mm prime lens, no filter and most commonly for 2 hours before pausing for an hour and then taking another frame. For other cameras, f5.6 to f8, on bulb/time and shutter locked opened from 2 to 2.5 hours will give you a very good starting point. Be aware of your surroundings, roaming animals, people (either or both can trip on the tripod), the possibility of theft (if camera is left out in the open by itself) and cold: as the night progresses condensation can form on the lens and negate the entire experience. Above all else, have something to keep yourself occupied over a long period of time, or just leave the camera out, where it is safe to do so and retreat inside. And don't treat star trails as a critical science: it's not, it's just for fun.

"A very high-level Sea Org member one day saw me and asked me what I was doing and I said I was leaving and I said I was pregnant and he said, Oh, is it too late for an abortion?," Woodcraft said. "I didn't even know what to say in response. "
In a San Francisco Chronicle article from 2001, Church leaders said that the Church has no policy on abortion, leaving the choice up to individual couples.
Lawrence Woodcraft remembered the relief he felt when his daughter finally decided to leave the church.
"She thought, Wait a minute. There's more to life than Scientology," he said.
"That's when she just took off. Just got the hell out of that rotten organization. … Sorry, it makes me upset to think about it," he said, tearing up.
Soon after Astra Woodcraft left, she divorced her husband and says she was disconnected from her family who was still in the Church.
A few years later, her younger sister left, too.
Jenna Miscavige Hill said it wasn't until years after her parents left the Church that she began to realize she wanted to leave as well. "I don't even have a life," she said of her time in Sea Org. "I don't get to enjoy things. Who am I really helping?"
Hill said she and her husband, Dallas, went back and forth about leaving or staying in the Church. In 2005, they finally left for good, and she said she was told to sign paperwork promising not to talk about her experiences within the Church.
"That's a bond that I didn't sign," she said. "I shredded it in front of the lady's face."
Now out of the Church, Woodcraft, Hill and other ex-Sea Org member started their Web site ExScientologykids.com as a way to connect with other ex-Scientologists.
"It's just a way for people to share stories," said Hill, "And to maybe reconnect with people who they knew before."
With her 9-year-old daughter by her side, Astra Woodcraft said she and Hill are trying to move forward.
"If they would just let people who wanted to be there, be there, and let someone who wanted to leave, leave, and someone who didn't like what was going on, speak their mind, there would be no story," she said.
As for Hill, "I'm not gonna be intimidated. I'm just gonna continue living my life the way I want it to be," she said. "I'm not gonna let them affect me anymore."
Again, Hill's parents -- the brother and sister-in-law of Scientology's leader -- declined "Nightline's" request for an interview. However, Hill said that they have a good relationship now that they are all of out of Scientology.
For weeks, "Nightline" repeatedly asked for an on-the-record response from the Church of Scientology. Thursday night, the Church responded with a statement (CLICK HERE for the full statement) in which the Church says it would not comment on what it called Hill's "dismissal" from her Sea Org position. It goes on to say in part that "Every religion has its detractors; there is no faith that can satisfy everyone's spiritual needs, Scientology included. We wish Mrs. Hill well in her search for spiritual fulfillment."

text: CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs announced Friday they traded utility man Brent Lillibridge to the New York Yankees for a player to be named later and cash considerations. Lillibridge hasn't been on the 40-man roster since April, after he was designated for assignment and ultimately outrighted to Triple-A Iowa. In 48 games at Triple-A, Lillibridge was batting .281 with five home runs, 13 RBIs and a .331 on-base percentage. In joining the Yankees organization, Lillibridge now has a chance to play for the home team in the stadium where he made one of his biggest splashes in the major leagues.

Under the Community-Based Energy Development (C-BED) Tariff, each public utility in Minnesota is required to file with the state Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to create a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for community-owned renewable energy projects. The original legislation was enacted in 2005 but has been amended several times subsequently. Utilities were required to submit revised tariffs for the 2007 amendments by December 1, 2007.
Municipal and cooperative utilities were required to file a tariff 90 days after the first PUC order approval of a tariff for a public utility. The tariff rate must be higher in the first 10 years of the agreement than the last ten years. The intent of this structure is to provide renewable energy projects with better cash flow during the first ten years. This makes it easier to achieve financing and pay project debt. The lower rate in the second half of the project ensures declining power costs for the utility and ratepayers over the 20-year term of the contracts.
Under the original C-BED legislation, the tariff rate was capped at a net present value of 2.7 cents per kilowatt-hour calculated over the life of the PPA (using the relevant utility's normal discount rate). This cap was eliminated in 2007. A 2008 amendment allows Minnesota political subdivisions and local governments to participate in C-BED projects in a variety of ways -- including outright ownership -- but prohibits them from acquiring property for such projects through eminent domain. Further 2009 legislation ([https://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/bin/bldbill.php?bill=S0550.3.html&se... S.F. 550, Sec. 10]) requires all utilities to file standard contracts with the PUC for the purchase of electricity from projects with a rated capacity of five megawatts (MW) or less. The contracts are required to be "similar in all material respects" to the standard contracts Xcel Energy is required to use for wind projects of 2 MW or less under the utility's mandated [http://www.dsireusa.org/incentives/incentive.cfm?Incentive_Code=MN03R&re... Renewable Energy Set Aside].
C-BED tariffs can be used to satisfy the state's Renewable Energy Standard. Utilities are required to consider C-BED projects, but they are not required to sign C-BED contracts.
In order for a project to be considered community-based and eligible for C-BED tariffs:
- 51% of the revenues from the power purchase agreement must flow to Minnesota-based owners and other qualifying local entities.
- No single wind project investor can own more than 15 percent of a project consisting of two or more wind turbine, except for local governments which may be the sole owners of community-based projects.
- The project must have a resolution of support adopted by the county board of each county in which the project is to be located, or in the case of a project located within the boundaries of a reservation, the tribal council for that reservation.
- All owners of property traversed by transmission lines serving the project must be given the opportunity to invest.
In November 2005, Minnesota established a goal of developing an additional 800 MW of community-owned wind projects by 2010. This is in addition to the roughly 200 MW which already existed at that time and which resulted to a large degree from the [http://www.dsireusa.org/library/includes/incentive2.cfm?Incentive_Code=M... MN Renewable Energy Production Incentive] (now closed to new wind applicants). As of September 2011, a total of 266.30 MW of C-BED projects had been completed, with an additional 114 MW under contract and .24 MW in negotiations. Please see the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Division of Energy Resources (DOCDER) [http://mn.gov/commerce/energy/images/CBED-Utility-Projects.pdf C-BED Project Report] for additional details and updated statistics./CBED_Projects_Report_121107120316_UtilityC-BEDProjects.pdf C-BED Project Report] for additional details and updated statistics.

[b]Grain terminal opens at Highmore[/b]
Posted by Kim
Railroad siding into Farmers Union Co-op Elevator 's grain terminal site at Highmore.
By Lucy Halverson
Eugene Mertens, a Kennebec trucker, had the honor of dumping the first semi-truck load of milo at the Farmers Union Co-op Elevator's newly constructed grain terminal
on Monday, January 5. The 500,000-bushel terminal is located on the northeast side of Highmore off hwy. 14.
Todd Yeaton, transferred from the Chamberlain elevator, is manager at the Highmore site. A bookkeeper, a scale operator, and three outside workers are also employed.
Yeaton stated they are currently filling a 100-car train with milo. Milo from the Co-op's elevators at Kennebec and Chamberlain plus grain bought from other elevators will fill the train by Wednesday night. The terminal is also receiving winter wheat.
Around 15 truckers from the Kennebec, Reliance, Chamberlain, Hamill, and Platte area are currently hauling between 50 to 60 semi-truck loads, around 45,000 to 50,000 bushel per day to the terminal. According to Mertens, he's averaging 3 trips per day between the Kennebec Elevator and the Highmore site. Mertens stated that dumping at the new site is fast if there isn't a line of trucks waiting to dump, "I went from scale to dumping back to scale in 6 minutes."
Yeaton stated that the terminal expects to fill between 200 and 300-grain cars per month, depending on the availability of cars.
The Co-op in partnership with Cenex/Harvest States of St. Paul, MN and the Regional Rail Authority built the terminal and railroad siding. Additional funding came from a Community Development Block Grant, Industrial Park Development Grant, Rural Electric Economic Development fund, SD Railroad Trust fund, and Wells Fargo Bank of Chamberlain.

Maybe it is just a UK rule - different organisers.
When I saw how long the line was when I got to Zia at around 7:45, I thought I was screwed getting anything I wanted. Ended up getting everything I wanted except for Joy Division and the other two Crosses releases. Picked up Crosses (two, no luck finding one or three), Conor Oberst/Dawes, Banks, Civil Wars and Bruce Springsteen.

I think I heard th LCD go for 90 which is a steal. I saw it on the shelf but passed it up. I should've grabbed it but I'm not huge on live albums
I caved and went into amoeba as I was passing by and they actually had a copy of the Bis album. Two, in fact. Then i noticed the Pink Panther reissue is actually on pink vinyl and couldn't resist. And decided to pick up the Clint Mansell soundtrack.
I am so weak.
So bummed. Got in line at amoeba at 12 and had to leave at 2 to cover something. Someone in line said they'd grab me school of seven bells and banks, which they still had, but by 3 they had finally sold out.
Next year I am doing amoeba super early. Everyone gives them all the rarest stuff and half the people just want mgmt and green day.
4/8 Ride @ The Roxy, 4/10 St. Vincent @ The Cosmopolitan, 4/14 Barry Manilow @ Staples Center, 5/2 Desert Daze, 5/8-10 Levitation, 5/16 The Juan Maclean @ The Regent, 6/10 Emmy the Great @ Hotel Cafe, 6/12 Emmy the Great @ Hotel Utah
I also picked up the garbage single, which turns out is the best thing they've done in a while. the only thing I wanted but didn't get a hold of was the Oasis single. I'm hoping that will be as prevelant as the Pulp single was last year.
also, the Clint Mansell vinyl is fucking gorgeous.
Jesus Christ. Somebody actually paid $600 for this.
May 15-17 - Psycho California
June 6 - The Rolling Stones
June 10 - Melvins
June 20 - Blur
June 24-28 - Glastonbury
July 18 - Death Grips?
July 26 - Faith No More
September 25 - Kraftwerk
at least the seller had the courtesy to throw in free shipping.
I could've heard wrong. I was in the middle if the line when he was being rung up
Walking up to Origami this morning and the De La Soul/Dilla folks were absolutely rabid, most had been there since 8-9pm the night before. Does anyone know what time people were lining up at Amoeba?
Pemberton (7/18-20) ~ FYF (8/22-23)
I was going to go out but just slept in after a long night. Anyone get the Dino JR/Cure split? Also would dig a pic of the peeps who picked up Man Man for vicarious reasons
"Mr. Toad's Wild Aidz."
I ended up with The Dino Jr. 7" box set, the Black Lips 7", and whatever the Cut Copy release was.
This ain't no middle of the mall shit.
some items now up on amoeba.com.
Picked up the Tears For Fears 10" at Coachella yesterday... They didn't have a huge selection of titles, but that was the main one that I wanted anyway...
Got interviewed by NBC while waiting outside of Amoeba. Didnt think they would use it, but sure enough. Got to rep my favorite DJ duo too
Superfan will be in front of the Fonda masturbating furiously to a photo of him taking a photo of a band. Set is from 8:05 to approximately 8:05:15. Guest list only.
Upcoming Shows: Stanton Warriors (3/20), George Clinton + P Funk (3/21) Coachella 2015 (WK1), Underworld (Hollywood Bowl), Basement Jaxx (Hollywood Bowl), David Gilmour (Wherever I need to go)
Bullmoose.com has a bunch of RSD titles on sale, with free shipping on order $25+. I picked up From Here We Go Sublime, which was the one release I really hoped to find online for a fair price.
I knew when I saw that The Man in the Blue Turban With A Face was being issued on vinyl for the first time that I had to buy it: it was one of those endlessly-played records I found in college and, though I'd not listened to it in years, it was definitely one I had to own. I just put on my copy and was reminded why I listened to this so much: the songs are fantastic. I love Man Man, they've put out some spectacular albums and they continue to be incredible live, but I'll be damned if the first album isn't their best release. There's just such an excellent blend of Waits/Beefheart oddball music and New Orleans jazz centering these catchy laments. They've stripped back now to a certain extent instrumentally, but any of these tracks stripped to piano and vocals would destroy the best of the last two records. The pressing sounds great, these songs are spectacular, so if you can find a halfway reasonable deal by all means buy this record. You will absolutely not regret it. Play Zebra on repeat.
How much did you pick it up for, Bryan?
"Mr. Toad's Wild Aidz."

After a few days of letting the dust settle from the most recent Fishwest hosted trip to the Andros South Lodge, I wanted to take a minute to tell you about a really nice piece of gear I picked up for the trip. This gear isn't the latest fly rod, reel or line. I am talking about a fly box, a really good fly box for that matter.
The Tacky Fly Box from the fine folks over at Tacky Fly Fishing is a game changer, pure and simple. This fly box is extremely lightweight and compact with the coolest feature being the silicone slit storage used to hold the flies. The silicone feature grips the flies extremely well, which means no more torn and beat up foam, and in my case it was easy to rinse out at the end of the day to get all the potential salt buildup out.
The only downside about this box in the nature I was using it was the shallow and thin design. The larger bonefish flies that lived in the box did not allow the magnetic lid to close very easily. If the box was just a little deeper this would have not caused an issue.
All in all, for the first model of box I am quite impressed. When loaded with various bonefish flies (i.e. gotchas, Charlies, Mantis Shrimp) this box was able to hold about two dozen flies , which made this box perfect to tag along on flats wading adventures. This is a far cry from the 150+ trout flies that this box will hold but that is most certainly understandable. Lets just say it will become a go to trout box at some point.
I for one cannot wait to see what the guys over at Tacky Fishing produce in terms of boxes in the future. If they are anything like their first box I will be in line to pick one up for sure.

Team Rocket Kyun Chara re-release?
Does anyone know anything about a release date for them, or is this still unconfirmed? I missed out on the first chance to get them since their price on Y!J went way beyond what I was willing to pay due to their scarcity, so I'm still holding out hope someone will do pickups for the re-issue.
