Two tall ships sailed into Spud Point Marina in Bodega Bay on Tuesday, bringing with them one big unknown: How many people will show up through Sunday to see, board and sail on the historic vessels?
"We really can't even begin to estimate what kind of response there will be. You just never know," said County Supervisor Efren Carrillo, whose 5th District includes Bodega Bay.
Last year, crowds who visited the Hawaiian Chieftain and the Lady Washington -- which saw duty in the 2003 film "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" -- were so large that people grew frustrated at the wait. Many were turned away.
Tall Ships In Bodega Bay
Management of the tall ship tours is handled by the vessels' owner, the nonprofit Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority, of Aberdeen, Wash. But with the ships' return this year, county parks officials have taken steps to ease crowding.
"We learned some lessons last year," said Sonoma County Regional Parks spokeswoman Meda Freeman, who characterized last year's response as "overwhelming."
This year, new signs were installed. More staff is on hand. Food trucks and vendors are on site. Alternative activities are also scheduled, from tide pooling to bird watching to a whale watch and lecture.
"We're absolutely better prepared this go-around than we were last," Carrillo said.
Certain factors also were at play last year that won't be this time around.
The 2012 visit coincided with the 200th anniversary of the founding of Fort Ross and was heavily promoted. This year, the Rancho Bodega Historical Society did not publicize the tall ships event.
Also, one scheduled public tour of the Hawaiian Chieftain was canceled last year because the historic replica topsail ketch had been booked as a private charter sail.

Over the weekend, he again said he did not think the drug should be legalized but also said he doesn't think pot is any more dangerous than alcohol.

President Obama says marijuana use is no more dangerous than alcohol, though he regards it as a bad habit he hopes his children will avoid.
"As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life,'' he said in a magazine interview. "I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol."
He said marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol "in terms of its impact on the individual consumer.'' ...

Romain Grosjean, who has matured from an impetuous racer into a regular podium contender, can blame firm tires rather than loose driving for his woes in qualifying for the Indian Grand Prix.
Grosjean will start from 17th on the grid Sunday after Lotus' gamble on sticking with medium tires backfired in the first qualifying session Saturday.
The Frenchman was philosophical about the decision and is still hopeful of challenging for a podium finish — if not the Red Bulls — to boost his team in its battle for second place in the constructors' title.
"If we never try anything, then you never get anything, so we maybe misjudged a little bit today but I was part of the decision and I more or less thought it would be OK," Grosjean said. "We just got surprised by those tires, which is often done."
Grosjean, who finished third at the previous GP in Japan, remained on pace throughout the Indian practice sessions, posting the third fastest time Friday behind Red Bull drivers Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber.
"It's not good for the team's constructor (title hopes) and it's clearly not what we were expecting," Grosjean said, adding he has the ability to work his way back in the race. "I've proven I'm able to do it and I've had some very strong races.
"We'll try to get the best strategy we can. … Go for maximum attack in the first few laps and try to get some places."
Tire supplier Pirelli has brought medium and softer compound tires to India. While the softer tire is faster, the teams have complained of its lack of durability.
Teammate Kimi Raikkonen qualified sixth on soft tires and Grosjean said the team's strategy was to switch him to the softer compound for second, third and final qualifying sessions.Formula 1, Indian GP, Romain Grosjean

On January 7, 1991, Governor Sundlun requested Vartan Gregorian, then President of Brown University, to conduct a study of the reasons for the failure of the Rhode Island Shares and Depositors' Indemnity Corporation (RISDIC.) On January 17, Sundlun issued Executive Order 91-6, which made Gregorian and his designees "agents of the state ... for all actions taken in furtherance of the Governor's Commission." Two months later, on March 14, the Gregorian Commission produced its final report. Titled Carved in Sand: Gregorian Commission Report on the Collapse of RISDIC, the report identified multiple sources of failure, apportioning various degrees of responsibility to the behavior and decisions of member financial institutions insured by RISDIC, RISDIC's financial weakness, RISDIC's lack of managerial oversight, insufficient resources and continuity of leadership at the Department of Business Regulations as well as lack of vigilance on the part of the General Assembly and the Executive branch.
Later that year, the General Assembly created the Depositors Economic Protection Corporation (DEPCO) to assist in managing the liquidation of the failed instituions, to recover monies owing to the institutions, and to protect the interests of those who had held deposits in credit unions, loan and investment companies and bank and trust companies that could no longer obtain deposit insurance.

Rohan Murphy said it took him years to see his disability as a gift, not a curse. He slowly realized, he said, he could be an inspiration for others.
Born with severely deformed legs that were amputated when he was a young child, Murphy overcame all obstacles to become a successful wrestler at Penn State University. He also is an accomplished power lifter, has been featured in a Nike commercial, and is a motivational speaker.
He shared his story Tuesday at the fourth annual Diversity Summit at South Western High School, advising participants to never give up on their goals and to be themselves.
"Wherever you want to go in life, you're going to encounter adversity," Murphy said. "Next time you think about quitting, think about me.
Murphy, who attended a Long Island, N.Y., high school where he was the only one in a wheelchair and the only black, said his disability made him work harder to prove himself.
"I didn't want my disability to stop me from doing anything in life," he said. "I wanted to show people I can succeed."
After his talk to a full auditorium at South Western, Murphy was surrounded by students who wanted to shake his hand and have their picture taken with him.
"Just seeing him and listening to him talk about his struggles inspires me to work hard," said Jordan Heavel, a junior soccer player at South Western.
The message Heavel and others took away? "Just try hard at anything you do, and you have to appreciate everything you have," he said.
Heavel got an opportunity to go up on stage to help Murphy demonstrate how he took down opponents during wrestling matches. Murphy also demonstrated how he "ran" the length of a football field on his hands, did pushups and other strength-training techniques.
"You see all the things you take for granted, the simple things," said Anthony Wildasin, a Drexel University student working an internship with the Hanover YWCA.
The Diversity Summit, which attracted more than 320 participants, was sponsored by the YWCA and its Hispanic American Center of Hanover.
The daylong conference, which included seminars, displays and speakers, aimed to promote tolerance and understanding of differences in race, culture, religion, ability, sexual orientation and more.
In more than a dozen workshops, participants covered topics such as the role of culture in business, creating healthy habits in your everyday life, and ensuring that businesses welcome lesbian, gay and bisexual people.
York College staff member Rabyia Ahmed said she benefited from the "Winning Through Influence" workshop presented by other keynote speaker Victor Antonio. Ahmed said she was impressed Antonio supplied data and examples on how people interact, in particular how to successfully hold an audience's attention.
"There were a lot of things that were pertinent for me since I do presentations," said Ahmed, an assistant director of intercultural student life at York College. "He made sure to include everyone."
Sharon Christ said taking the workshop "Identifying, Understanding, and Dismantling White Privilege" with a mix of participants made her realize what others have to overcome.
"It was a good session. It made me think of other people's experiences," said Christ, director of enrollment management at Penn State York. "I always learn something here."
"You learn about the experiences of everybody and what some white people take for granted," said Mayra Aragones, who works for WellSpan Health in York.
Sharing those different perspectives and life experiences is a big part of the summit, said Mirna Wildasin, event organizer and director of the Hispanic American Center.
From the tables displaying items from other countries, to the canopy of tree branches decorating the registration area, the goal was to demonstrate the wide spectrum of people in our communities.
"When you walk in you're experiencing a different culture and environment," Wildasin said. "Hanover has really grown and brought a lot more cultures in."

Euro Advances From 16-Month Low as Leaders Meet; Franc Climbs
The euro gained from the lowest level in 16 months versus the dollar as the leaders of Germany and France discussed a rulebook for closer fiscal union among the nations that share the currency.
The Swiss franc gained on bets central-bank Chairman Philipp Hildebrand's resignation threatens the nation's currency ceiling. New Zealand's dollar and Brazil's real were the top performers against the dollar. The euro pared gains versus the greenback after German industrial production fell, following data last week showing the U.S. added more jobs than forecast, and after the meeting on the Europe's debt crisis ended.
"It's another meeting that talks about how this problem can be dealt with, but they were shy on any substantive steps," said Jack Spitz, managing director of foreign exchange at National Bank of Canada in Toronto. "Both fundamentally and technically, the euro is suggested to go continuously lower."
The 17-nation currency advanced 0.4 percent to $1.2765 at 5 p.m. New York time, after earlier falling to $1.2666, its weakest level since Sept. 10, 2010. The euro gained 0.2 percent to 98.08 yen after dropping earlier to 97.28, the least since December 2000. The dollar fell 0.1 percent to 76.86 yen.
The euro rose today as traders purchased the shared currency to close short positions, rather than on optimism about the European-crisis discussions, according to Adam Cole, head of global currency strategy at Royal Bank of Canada's RBC Europe unit in London. A short position is a bet a currency will fall.
'Very Stretched'
"It's more to do with very stretched positioning than anything else," Cole said.
Futures traders increased their bets earlier this month to a record high that the euro will decline against the dollar. The difference between wagers that the shared currency would fall versus those that it would rise surged to 138,909 in the week ended Jan. 3, according to data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission released Jan. 6.
The euro will decline to $1.27 by the second quarter, according to the median forecast of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. That's down from a previous estimate of $1.28.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, at a joint press conference with French President Nicolas Sarkozy after they met today in Berlin, said "really good progress" is being made in negotiations. The session will be followed by a round of talks among euro-area leaders before a summit in Brussels Jan. 30.
'Fiscal Compact'
The leaders of Europe's two biggest economies are fleshing out a blueprint for budgetary discipline negotiated at a Dec. 9 summit that seeks to create a "fiscal compact" for the euro region to save the shared currency. Merkel said it may be ready by Jan. 30. The two nations also "are ready to examine" how to speed up capital payments into the European Stability Mechanism, the region's permanent rescue fund, Merkel said.
The dollar trimmed losses earlier after industrial production in Germany dropped 0.6 percent in November following an 0.8 percent increase the previous month. The median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey was for an 0.5 percent decrease.
Germany sold 3.9 billion euros ($5 billion) of six-month treasury bills today at a negative yield for the first time as investors sought the debt of Europe's biggest economy as a haven. The bills drew an average yield of negative 0.0122 percent, the Federal Finance Agency said in an e-mailed statement.
"Germany issuing at negative yields today suggests that money is not necessarily leaving Europe but being redistributed within the region," said Spitz of National Bank of Canada.
Swiss Franc
The franc rose to the strongest level since September against the euro after the nation's central bank president quit. Hildebrand stepped down after a currency transaction by his wife last year dented his credibility.
The Swiss National Bank said in a statement its cap of 1.20 francs per euro "remains unchanged." It imposed the ceiling on Sept. 6 to halt the currency's advance as Europe's debt crisis fueled demand for the relative safety of Swiss assets.
SNB Vice President Thomas Jordan will take over interim leadership of the bank, Hildebrand said in a resignation speech.
The franc gained 0.2 percent to 1.21213 per euro after touching $1.2108 earlier, the strongest since Sept. 20. It advanced 0.6 percent to 94.96 centimes per dollar.
Brazil's real strengthened 1.3 percent to 1.8332 per dollar. New Zealand's dollar rose 0.9 percent to 78.72 U.S. cents and gained 0.7 percent to 60.49 yen.
The dollar has gained 1.4 percent over the past week against nine developed-nation peers tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The euro lost 1.1 percent and the yen has advanced 1.2 percent.
Dollar Index
IntercontinentalExchange Inc.'s Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against the currencies of six major U.S. trading partners, fell for the first time in four days. The gauge declined 0.3 percent today to 80.995 after earlier climbing to 81.503, the highest level since Sept. 20, 2010.
Bets on dollar strength have reached "extreme" territory for the first time since March 2010, according to Morgan Stanley, citing an aggregate measure including client flow data and market futures positions.
Buying of the U.S. currency last week by Morgan Stanley's clients reached the 85th percentile of the past two years, Calvin Tse, a London-based currency strategist at the company, said in an interview.
The dollar capped its fifth weekly gain on Jan. 6 as Labor Department data showed U.S. payrolls added 200,000 jobs last month, more than forecast, and the unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped to 8.5 percent.
"The correlation between good U.S. data equaling a weak dollar is beginning to break down now that we're seeing signs of a more sustained recovery in the U.S.," said Mike Jones, a currency strategist at Bank of New Zealand in Wellington. "There's a clear fundamental shift in favor of the U.S. dollar."

Health careKeep you and your baby safe from winter bugs by following some basic preventative measures.
- Frequently washing hands is the simplest and most effective way of getting rid of cold and flu germs. Wash your baby's hands as often as you can, especially if he keeps putting them in his mouth.
- As most winter diseases are spread through coughs, sneezes and direct contact, keep your baby away from sick people and avoid going to crowded places.
- Ensure your baby's vaccinations are up to date to protect him from viruses and bacteria.
- Naturally boost your baby's immunity by breastfeeding him.
- Dehydration is a common side effect of winter diseases. Sore throats and stuffy noses can make it difficult for your baby to drink. Give your baby plenty of breastmilk (or formula milk if you aren't breast feeding).
- Avoid irritants like smoke or sprays. They can trigger a coughing fit.
- is pulling on his ear (which can signal an ear infection)
- is wheezing or has trouble breathing (it could be a bronchial infection or pneumonia )
- has diarrhoea or vomiting, which can lead to dehydration
- is younger than three months and has a temperature of 100.4 degrees (read more about when to call your doctor)
Massaging your newborn baby in the winter can improve his blood flow and help build his immunity. In the colder regions of the country most mothers use mustard (sarson) oil as it warms the body. If you find the smell too strong, try almond or olive. Read more on massage oils for babies. Make sure that you massage your baby in a warm, comfortable place that is safe from cool draughts. While bathing your baby, ensure that you wash off the oil well. Many babies develop skin rashes due to the left over massage oil.
Common winter illnessesBabies are especially vulnerable to illnesses as their immune systems are still developing. If your child falls ill (even if it is a simple cold) speak to your doctor about his symptoms and treatment before it gets worse.
Find out how you can protect your baby from these winter illnesses:
Hygiene and cleanlinessBath
Be careful to not overdo baths in winter as too much soap and water can dry out your baby's delicate skin. Use a mild soap and warm, not hot, water when bathing your baby. You can alternate between proper baths and sponge baths since newborn babies don't get that dirty in winter.
You can run hot water for a while in the bathroom to create a steamy and warm environment for your baby's bath. Keep the bathroom door and windows closed to avoid a sudden gush of cold air.
Don't let your baby soak in the tub for long and wrap him in a hooded towel as soon as you take him out. While giving him a bath, you could leave the heater or blower on in the bedroom so that you don't have to dress him in a hurry.
Healthcare for your familyConsider getting healthcare insurance for you and your family to help with the expense of unforeseen medical emergencies. Then keep your health insurance card and any relevant paperwork handy in case you have to leave in a hurry.
Overall hygieneEnsure visitors and family members wash their hands before your holding your baby.
Discuss personal hygiene with your babysitter or maid and ensure she washes her hands and feet thoroughly as soon as she enters your home. If you have a cook, ensure she washes her hands with soap and warm water and has trimmed nails before handling any food.
ClothesGo for clothing made from warm materials like wool, flannel, fleece, hosiery and so on. Mittens and booties will keep your baby's hands and feet warm. Body heat can be lost through the extremities, so keep your baby cosy by covering his head, hands and feet with woollen hats, gloves and socks.
Read more on buying winter essentials for your baby and how you can keep your baby safe and comfortable during the cold season.
Home and surroundingsKeep your home warm and cosy by taking care of all gaps in and around the doors and windows. Weather strips are ideal for taking care of these gaps and are easily available in the market.
If any family member smokes, ask them to smoke outside the house. This way you won't have to keep letting the cold air in to clear out the smoke. Smoke is also bad for your baby and can worsen and cause serious respiratory illnesses.
Even though insects during winter are not as widespread, consider calling pest control to get rid of any leftover bugs. Clean the floors and bathrooms with a good quality disinfectant. Look out for mould build-up, especially in poorly ventilated and damp areas of your home.
Pre-winter checkCheck to see that all heating appliances like geysers, heaters, blowers and heating rods are in good working condition. These appliances usually need power points so it would be a good idea to call an electrician to check them and ensure that they can carry the load. This way you can avoid short circuits which could lead to fire hazards.
You might like to get your winter bed spreads, blankets, quilts or razais washed or dry-cleaned before you need to use them to keep warm in the winter.
Child safety and other tipsMore tips to keep your family safe and comfortable.
- Think about getting a humidifier or steamer for your home. The moist air will thin out your baby's mucus discharges, helping to calm his cough or congestion.
- If you are going out with your baby for a stroll, keep him warm with blanket in the pram. Some parents use a baby carrier or sling which is strapped across the chest. This way, your body heat keeps your baby warm.
- Be careful when using a blanket on your newborn baby, as it may cover his mouth and lead to suffocation. Use it to either swaddle your baby or tuck him in properly. When tucking him in with the blanket, ensure it doesn't go higher than his shoulder and arm pit.
- Don't dress your baby in heavy, bulky clothing when he is in the car seat. The car seat harness or belts may not close properly and could be dangerous in the event of crash.
- Make time to simply snuggle up with your baby. This will provide comfort and warmth to your little one, not to mention the joy of bonding and spending some quality time with you!

Jay Z - Jay Z depicted as 'Care Bear Pal' for protecting fragrance proceeds amid racial profiling flak. Artist Daniel Edwards depicts fragrance mogul Jay Z as a Care Bear pal in his latest work dedicated to the rapper's Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation, which provides college funding for students with financial need for an unveiling this week on Facebook, announces Cory Allen Contemporary Art. 'Jay Z is an entertainer, not a civil rights activist - he defended future college funds by standing up to the criticism for his refusal to break ties with Barney's New York in order to sell his fragrance Gold, which should be a huge fundraiser for the foundation,' said artist Daniel Edwards, referring to accusations of the department store's practice of racial profiling and the rap mogul's reluctance to take a stand against it by withdrawing his merchandise. Titled 'Jay Z Cares and Shares,' Jay Z is depicted smiling, clad in a suit and tie befitting a mogul and surrounded by the Care Bears. 'We regret that Jay Z's opportunity to educate students to fight a policy of racism interferes with his ability to fund their education,' said Whitney Evans of Cory Allen Contemporary Art, 'but we applaud him for not being deterred from his mission to send people to college.' In 2011, the artist criticized Jay Z by depicting him as a 'Scrooge' in an Occupy Wall Street protest piece known as the 'Scrooge Totem Pole,' saying, 'I think Jay Z has made himself a face of Wall Street that Occupiers are protesting against,' referring to the rap mogul's usage of the movement's name to sell his t-shirts without compensation. Edwards went on to say, "Rap stars who turn 'Scrooge' have to suffer some damage to their street credibility, I would think,' added Edwards. Jay Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, recently said in a statement on his website, "Making a decision prematurely to pull out of this project, wouldn't hurt Barneys or Shawn Carter, but all the people that stand a chance at hig - Los Angeles, California, United States - Thursday 21st November 2013 (2 Pictures)

There has been a lot of discussion recently as to whether the Iowa Juvenile Home and State Training School for Girls in Toledo should be closed. Rather than focusing on location and workforce issues, we should be working to determine the best service delivery model for Iowa's girls who have been adjudicated delinquent and need a high level of service.
As the executive director of Disability Rights Iowa, I agree with the Juvenile Court Services Association that Iowa needs to create a comprehensive service delivery system for its delinquent girls with high needs. (Jan. 1 Register article).

Are you new, a visitor, or interested in attending Anchor Baptist Church? You'll find that Anchor Baptist Church is the ideal place for you and your family! With adult Bible classes for married couples, single adults, newlyweds, college students, etc., Sunday school classes for children and teenagers, and special needs classes for the deaf and blind, there is a place for you!
Sunday Bible Classes – 9:30 am
Adult Bible classes and Sunday School classes meet from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., right before the main preaching service. This is the perfect opportunity for you and your family to meet other fellow believers and also learn great Bible truths.
What About My Child(ren)?
We provide first-class nurseries and childcare for your newborn or baby, where they will be kept safe and well supervised. We have detailed identification system that is unique to each child that provides for the child's safety, and it allows the nursery staff to quickly notify the parent if assistance is needed or an emergency occurs. Our nursery staff is well-trained and experienced; we are good at what we do.
Classes are also available for children four year old up to seniors in high school. These classes give them an opportunity to grow spiritually and learn vital biblical truths at a young age.
Where Do I Park?
Ample and convenient parking is available for all visitors. We also have parking spots designated for the elderly and handicapped. The map of our campus will provide you a detailed map of all the building and parking space locations. Click here for map.
What Should I Wear?
There is no strict dress code to attend our public services, but in case you're wondering, a majority of our church members wear their "Sunday best" — the men in a dress shirt and dress slacks, typically with a tie, and the women in modest dress.
Sunday Morning and Evening Services – 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
Every Sunday morning and Sunday evening, the main Sunday preaching service is held in the Main Auditorium with Pastor Bell. As you walk in, a friendly usher will greet you and be available for you to help you find a seat and answer any questions you may have.
We believe in having a church service with good, uplifting hymns and spiritual songs that will stir and inspire you, prayer, and best of all, practical preaching of the Word of God from Pastor Bell.
Singing and Special Music
Every service gives you an opportunity to join us in singing hymns and spiritual songs. Each chair provides a songbook for you to use, which are available on the song book racks located under every chair.
You'll enjoy the music as our 40-member choir sings. We also have many ensembles, youth choirs, and singing groups throughout the services.
We are a church that believes in prayer. Throughout the service, prayers are led by different men. Some of these prayers deal with the needs and requests of our church family and friends, while others simply praise and thank God for His goodness and faithfulness.
We consider the preaching of the Word of God to be the best and the most important time of the service. I Corinthians 1:21 reads, "…it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe." We believe that the best help you can get in any struggle of life is from the Bible and that preaching is that help.
At the end of the preaching, Pastor Bell will ask everyone to stand and will give an invitation. This is a time for many to respond and make a life-changing decision by walking down the aisle and praying at the altar. A decision may be to trust Jesus Christ as personal Saviour or to become a better Christian. Whatever your decision may be, the altar is open to you to join the hundreds that will make decisions.
If you would like someone to pray for you or would like to make your decision public, men from our pastoral staff will be by the altar to pray with you and help you.
After the invitation is given, we have a baptism time at the end of every Sunday service. Those who have trusted Jesus Christ are baptized by immersion, making it as easy as possible to be baptized immediately after you get saved. However, we do not believe you can be saved by baptism. We provide two baptistery changing rooms, one for the ladies and one for the men.
Dozens of people get baptized every week here at Anchor Baptist Church. If you would like to be baptized, make your way to the altar, and men from our pastoral staff will be available to assist you.
Thursday Evening Bible Study – 7:30 p.m.
The Thursday evening Bible study takes place every week at 7:30 p.m. in the Main Auditorium of Anchor Baptist Church. This is a time during the week when the church family gathers to listen and be taught practical, relevant truths from the Bible taught by Pastor Bell. You will learn truths that will help you in the areas of prayer, marriage, child-rearing, relationships, and more!

Note: Campsites will not have electrical outlets. Do not bring equipment that requires electricity! 1. Outdoor clothing (including a rain jacket, warm jacket, sweater, long pants, hat, gloves, etc. in case of inclement weather).

Note: we will be in the Cascades - the weather can be highly variable so be prepared. 2. Sturdy lightweight (and water resistant) hiking shoes and extra socks; tennis shoes for around camp. 3. Shelter - pair up with someone and share a good quality, lightweight nylon tent. Bring a tarp if your tent doesn't have a good rain fly. Don't forget a ground cloth. 4. Sleeping bag and pad - recall that it may get cold at night. No cots or huge inflatable mattresses, please. 5. Food - we will be camping every night and also preparing meals in the field. Plan your meals ahead of time, preferably using foods items that do not break or spoil. Pack your foodstuffs in study cardboard or plastic utility boxes. Space is limited and coolers are not allowed.

Notebook and pencils, hand lens and handouts. 13. No rock hammers or plant presses! We will be visiting a national monument, therefore, no collecting! 14. Strongly recommended: sun screen, sun glasses, bandana and/or hat. Long underwear for lounging around camp on a chilly, damp night. 15. Flashlight for the lava tubes and around camp at night (and unscheduled Bigfoot encounters). Non-essential items (what the heck, go first class) 1. Camera and film - buy your film ahead of time as it is very expensive in the monument. 2. Hand lens and binoculars. Plant, bird, bug and rock field guides for the Cascades. 3.

The left side of the chair in restoration of the faux bamboo.
A light wash over the dry and really just in need of a facelift surface. It is like night and day with just a little elbow grease and a bit of restoration.
A closer look at the before to the right and the process of restoring the faux bamboo coloring. I like this color, but I am also thinking a more ebony color.
I am also thinking a leopard print cushion.
Here is the finished and repaired chair. I did ask Mary to not refinish the caning or the faux bamboo of the chair. I am playing around with the final finish. She was extremely thorough to explain finishing and staining the cane. I also received a sample of the cane to experiment with until I found the right finish for the chair's seat. I am going for a little darker color on the chair with a naturally aged finish to the cane seat.
I think that I had better figure it out on my sample before I do the seat.
A little closer look at her handy work. I am extremely pleased with the restoration work.
Now, to finish it out and choose a cushion for the seating. I was looking thru the new Ballard Designs catalog. There is a great collection of farmhouse cushions and regular chair cushions to choose from that are ready made. I will have to ponder that, as for now the jury is out on that decision.
I thought I would share my newest seat with everyone. I will follow up with the final product.
I also stumbled upon a set of horn spheres this last trip to NYC. Eager to show them, my camera was not up and running until this past weekend. These are made of horn ( a weakness of mine) shaped into round spheres and decorative accessory pieces. Tucked away, these made an appearance when rustling for some of my numerous stash's of stationary.
Interesting in shape and design for horn pieces. I am familiar with horn jewelry, cups, decorative magnifying glasses and desk items. Round spheres had never crossed my path before. Interesting and smooth in their feel, each one a different shade and color of natural horn.
So, for now these will grace my desk with their presence. I have seen stress balls, but these seem to give a whole new meaning to that accessory item.
Have a happy Monday!

I like to purchase some ASE each payday to continue adding to the stacks/tubes/boxes in addition to any cash savings.
I haven't bought any gold since the last bank cd was converted to tubes of 1 oz AGE's. Nor have I converted any silver to gold (watching the ratio).
Wealth-wise I'm ~ 70% gold / 30% silver.
Considering the higher premiums is buying some fractional AGE each payday pissing $ into a hole vs continued purchase of ASE. or maybe get some of both ?
Fractional AGE are paying more for less, longer speculation to recoup the premium, but it's more affordable on a short term basis despite not being what I consider a "value" for the few $ I have.
I'm leaning to just continue the ASE payday purchases, continue building the silver savings acct toward the day I convert it to gold.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - The mayors of Missouri's two largest cities are opposing legislation attempting to nullify some federal gun laws.
Kansas City Mayor Sly James and St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay said Monday the bill would undermine the safety of urban neighborhoods. They were joined at the state Capitol by Richard Callahan, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri.
Callahan said the proposal would prevent federal law enforcement agencies from working with local officials to combat gang and other gun violence.
Sponsoring Republican Rep. Doug Funderburk says his bill would "absolutely not" obstruct joint operations with federal authorities.
The House and Senate have passed separate versions of the legislation, which would declare "null and void" federal laws deemed to be infringements on gun rights.
Guns is HB1439

The same thing happened to Christianity. When it was winning, everything was cool. Until they started losing and then you had the inquisition, genocide and whatnot. Then the tide turned back and it was all cool again (in mainstream sects).
Islam is under threat still: not from religion, but from liberal democracy.
This happens when irrational religion is confronted by rational philosophy.

So What Do You Do, Dan Savage, Nationally Syndicated Sex Columnist?
'You don't walk away from an advice column. It's just too much fun.'- April 25, 2012
The words in Dan Savage's nationally syndicated "Savage Love" column are similar to how many people like their sex: raw, crass and in your face.
Savage has been fascinated by the topic of sex since his days as a gay teen reading his brother's stolen copies of Penthouse (for the articles, of course). So, when a chance meeting with the founders of Seattle alt-weekly The Stranger led to a job offer for an advice column, the recent grad quickly packed up his things in Madison, Wis. and headed west.
Now, with a mix of Ann Landers meets Xaviera Hollander, Savage has been doling out sex advice for young and old, gay or straight for more than 20 years. His column is syndicated in over 60 newspapers and featured in a weekly podcast, his It Gets Better Project has helped countless gay teens cope with bullying, and even MTV tapped him to bring his trademark wit to college campuses for Savage U.
Surprisingly, getting young people to discuss their sex lives is a lot easier than you might imagine. "Try not to get them to open up about their sex lives on camera," Savage told us. "That would be the real trick."
Name: Dan Savage
Position: Editorial director of The Stranger, host of MTV's "Savage U"
Resume: Debuted "Savage Love" in The Stranger in 1991. Got initially syndicated by just a few newspapers before slowly expanding to over 60 titles. Launched the podcast "Savage Lovecast" in 2006. Named editorial director of The Stranger in 2007 and host of MTV's Savage U in 2012.
Birthday: October 7, 1964
Hometown: Chicago, Illinois
Education: B.A., theater, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Marital status: Married
Media idol: "Let's say Sean Hannity because it will piss him off."
Favorite TV show: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report
Guilty pleasure: Stale cake
Last book read: Martyrs and Murderers: The Guise Family and the Making of Europe by Stuart Carroll
Twitter handle: @fakedansavage
Since The Stranger launched in 1991, how do you think media coverage of sex and homosexuality has changed?
Hopefully, a lot has changed since when you could get fired as Surgeon General for mentioning that people masturbate. I feel like people are much more realistic when they write about sex in the media, and talking about sex is much more of an acknowledgement. It's still a little schizoid. When I started writing "Savage Love," one of my goals was to write a column about sex using the language and the sense of humor that people typically use when they talk about sex with their friends. There seemed to be one way we all discussed sex privately and amongst friends and another way it was written about. People weren't writing about the sex we were actually having but this kind of pre-agreed-to idea of the sex that everyone ought to be having even though anybody wasn't.
I think there's a lot more realism out there about sex then there was 21 years ago. When I started the column 21 years ago, The Village Voice wouldn't pick it up because it was too dirty for New York, which was saying something. I was writing this column for kinky, rainy Seattle, and the then editor of the Chicago Reader told me that if I wanted to be in the Chicago Reader I had to write less about anal sex. I think that has changed and the Internet helped change it, because suddenly there was this place for sex writing without the gatekeepers and this paranoia that some child somewhere might pick up this newspaper.
Newspapers are in serious trouble right now. Why do you think alternative weeklies like The Stranger will fare any better in the digital era?
I don't! The print media is in trouble everywhere and is having to transition and transition fast to the new economic models. Like I said earlier, I have a degree in theater and I actually think what's happening to print media is kind of what happened to the theater 100 to 120 years ago. There were lots of jobs in the theater. There were legit playhouses by the score in every major American city. There were lots of jobs out there for actors and directors and theater technicians. That all came apart. Radio and television, a new technology, came along and just decimated -- destroyed really -- the profession.
|"Advice columnist is such a sweet gig that it will be pried from my cold dead hands one day just as Ann Landers' was pried from hers."
Suddenly, if you wanted to be an actor, you had to be willing to work for free and often for years before anyone would pay you to do it. That's kind of what writing has become. Reporting now, people will do it for free before anyone will pay them to do it. You have to have a blog and already be on the beat that interests you before anyone will think about hiring you. When I look around and listen to people in the journalism field, or journalism students, or journalism professors complain about what newspaper and print jobs are like now, for me, it echoes the history of theater classes I took in the '80s when they were talking about the coming of radio and television and what that did to live performance.
At what point did you decide to branch out into radio, TV, speaking tours, etc? Were those ventures deliberate moves on your part or did other outlets just start coming to you?
People began reaching out to me. I get letters every day from people asking me how to syndicate a column -- because obviously I must know since I have one -- and I have no idea how you syndicate a column. I started writing a column and people started contacting me, asking me if they could run it too. I never got out there really and marketed the column. The person I'm doing the television show with, Brian Pines of Hypomania Content, he was trying to get a meeting with me for two years before I would have lunch with him. And even then, he had to fly up to Seattle to meet with me -- I wasn't going to fly down to L.A. I'm too lazy and self-hating and self-loathing to run around in circles and saying, "They ought to put me on television." Brian had to convince me to go out there and do this, and I'm glad that he managed to do that.
Since you didn't study journalism in college, what advice would you give a college student looking to become the next Dan Savage?
[Laughs] That position is currently filled. Advice columnist is such a sweet gig that it will be pried from my cold, dead hands one day just as Ann Landers' was pried from hers. You don't walk away from an advice column. It's just too much fun. It's good work if you're doing it right. But it's just such a blast. If you want to be the next Dan Savage, I don't know how to help you. And if I did know how to help you, I wouldn't, because I'm interested in being Dan Savage for as long as I can.
You've said that Savage U aims to counter the fact that young people don't get good sex education. How much do you think the media is to blame for that?
I don't think the media is to blame for it. I think politicians are to blame for it. I think there's cowardice. There's not a lot of good sex ed. on television, but television I don't think is the venue. I don't think television, the medium, is charged with providing young people with good sex education. I think that's parents and schools and [students are] failed by it. There was just another bill passed in Tennessee; any kind of sex ed. is abstinence-only, and this new abstinence-only education in Tennessee has to encourage children from gateway sexual activities like hand holding. I read about it and said they should just start calling these bills the "Dan Savage Employment Protection Act of 2012." I will never be out of work so long as politicians keep churning out kids who have no info and don't know their holes from asses in the ground. I will be employed. We need good sex ed. in the schools. That's about parents and teachers, politicians and churches. I don't think that's about the media.
|"I will never be out of work so long as politicians keep churning out kids who have no info and don't know their holes from asses in the ground."
How do you and your producers at Savage U get college students to open up about their sex lives on camera?
Try not to get them to open up about their sex lives on camera. That would be the real trick. Anyone who wanted to come on the show and do a one-on-one had to nominate themselves, volunteer and be pre-interviewed by producers. We wanted to make sure we were talking to people that weren't making stuff up to be on television. We also wanted to make sure we were talking to people who were going to be comfortable being on television talking about this stuff. And we wanted to make sure we weren't talking to people who might regret the stuff they wanted to talk about in five to 10 years. We didn't want anyone to look back on the show and regret it. I will say, there are kids that I sat and talked with about sex issues, or problems, or relationship problems that I, if I were suffering similar problems, wouldn't talk about on TV. But young people have different ideas about privacy and what's public and private. They live their lives online, and they kind of broadcast a lot about their personal lives and sex lives in ways that old farts like me almost can't wrap our heads around. Sometimes, I would get uncomfortable, or I would have to be reminded by myself usually or the kids that I was talking to that they were fine with this and this for them was normal.
After 20 years of hearing about other people's sex lives, is there anything you think is absolutely weird or abnormal in the bedroom?
I think if you're doing things in the bedroom that you don't enjoy, that's weird. That you shouldn't do things that you don't enjoy. You should advocate for yourself. That doesn't mean there won't be times when you'll do things for your partner that your partner really enjoys but that you could take or leave. They don't scar you emotionally, or you're not sobbing on the floor in the fetal position afterwards. But you take some pleasure in giving pleasure. There are so many people out there that have really unfulfilling sex lives, who are going through the motions, who can't bring themselves to articulate what turns them on and really are wasting so much of their lives, because they're afraid of opening their mouths and telling the truth about who they are, what they want and what turns them on. I think that's weird. I think that's freaky. There's not a kink in the world that's as freaky. I think boring, vanilla intercourse with someone who bores you is freakish.

Katy and Robert: couple in the makingComment on this story
Katy Perry and Robert Pattinson's friends want them to get together.
The 'Dark Horse' singer and the 'Twilight' star were seen spending the majority of their weekend together at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California, having both split with their former partners, and friends of the pair are said to be rooting for them to get together.
A source said: "The pair had a fling a year ago but they went their separate ways after John [Mayer] wooed Katy back and Kristen [Stewart] made it clear that she still wanted her Twilight co-star.
"But things have gone cold with R-Patz and K-Stew since, with them both deciding it's time to move on."
Rob split from his long-term girlfriend Kristen last year when it was revealed she'd been having an affair with her 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director Rupert Sanders.
Meanwhile, Katy broke it off with her other half earlier this year and mutual friends are hoping that she and Rob will finally get together now their exes are out of the way.
The source told The Sun newspaper: "Katy and Rob are the best of friends with a very strong sexual chemistry. They care a lot about each other but have always been careful not to upset Kristen.
"But Kristen's off doing her own thing and accepting it's time for both of them to move on.
"Friends genuinely want to see them get it together properly. They think they bring out the best in each other."

Thailand's school had a no-school day so she came with us to our school and spoke to D's classroom as well as meeting a few of my students. Thailand did a wonderful job and everyone loved her. D's 2nd grade class had so many questions that we ran out of time and the teacher asked if she could come back at the end of the day to answer a few more. We did. D is so proud of her big sister, Thailand.
Thailand was so surprised at how interested all the students were. She had a good day and especially enjoyed interacting with my kindergarten groups.
