Candy Corn Cordial and Swamp Juice. Say what?
Adapted from: Foodnetwork.com
31 comments:
These are really cool cocktail recipe ideas for Halloween. I'll be throwing out a party and I'm just completing my cocktail list. Of course, vodka is at the top of the list, being a personal favorite. I also have pomegranate martini for some reds and a black martini recipe I read somewhere which is really awesome looking. I think the the candy corn cordial will be a great addition.ReplyDelete
I love that you are going to be posting Halloween recipes this week! There are so many wonderful Halloween recipes and they are so much fun to share. Both of these drinks are festive and fun! I love the idea of infusing vodka with candy corn. And that swamp juice is super cute for the kids. Great post!ReplyDelete
OH MY! The swamp juice has me jumping for joy! I am saving this recipe for next year when my itty bitty will be able to drink this from a cup. I love the concept of the candy corn cordial also! Great recipes to kick off the Halloween pre-week!ReplyDelete
No, I think they sound great! We love to make fun Halloween beverages. The candycorn infused vodka is priceless!ReplyDelete
Susi, celebrate it or not, I just love these cocktails! They look simply appealing!ReplyDelete
I didn't know Halloween either when I was a kid. I have started to really experience it here in the US and now it's kind of celebrated in Italy too. I'm still not into it. I haven't prepared a post with halloween cupcakes and bars but boy, your drinks look soooo much fun.ReplyDelete
Haha, I love it! I've never hosted a Halloween party before, but maybe the BH and I will make these to sip while the kiddos come T or Ting around our house-- a few of those, and we'd REALLY scare 'em!ReplyDelete
The swamp juice looks a little scary to me. I know that my kids would love it. I will take the recipe to try. We will be having a big Birthday Halloween Party at our house this weekend. Looking forward to all of your recipes this week.ReplyDelete
Those recipes sound delicious, and those pics look fantastic!ReplyDelete
the colors of these cocktail are amazing!ReplyDelete
I think the taste is excellent too! :D
I love the candy corn cordial, although I think the swamp juice would be tasty too! The kids would love it, I'm having a party on Sat. I'll have to make them a batch! Thanks for the idea! I love Halloween too!ReplyDelete
Those are fun colors. I can't wait to see what Halloweeny things you cook up this week.ReplyDelete
THAT'S THE BEST THING EVER.ReplyDelete
These are sooo stinkin' cool! The green swamp juice is especially awesome! It looks so gross...in the best way. Super creative Susi! I love it. OH! and your profile pic actually scared me for a second! (I am a big wienie though;)ReplyDelete
These are such creative cocktails! I won't be having a party for Halloween, but these make me wish I was! Thanks for sharing, Susi, and for your kind comments on my blog.ReplyDelete
Wow, I've never in my life been so creative with drinks! The colors are so entrancing I think I'd just stare at my glass for hours (like you'd do with a lava lamp).ReplyDelete
Love this! Such good fun!ReplyDelete
Susi, you are talking my language with your Halloween spirits. I am really liking the adult version of the cocktails. Both cocktails are great for entertaining-love it.ReplyDelete
The candy corn cordial sounds fabulous! Great Halloween drinks :)!ReplyDelete
A perfect way to host a spirited Halloween party for the adults. Love the colors, and the candy corn too!ReplyDelete
Love them both!!! The candy corn infused vodka looked really interesting... never heard of anything like that. As I'm not much of a sweet/candy person I'm not sure that the Swamp Juice is for me... but I know a little girl who would love it!ReplyDelete
Swamp juice is the coolest name ever for a drink. And the gummy worms make me love it even more!ReplyDelete
This is so fun, Susi! I love that you are doing this little Halloween week. Fantastic pictures too.ReplyDelete
I love both of these Susi! Everyone should drink a giant glass of swamp juice on Halloween to get in the holiday spirit!ReplyDelete
Fun :) and great colours! well done :)ReplyDelete
Great Halloween drinks, even for the designated driver. Our neighbors are having a party, so we'll be walking:) Happy Halloween!ReplyDelete
love it, so creativeReplyDelete
the colors are so vibrant and so "Halloween-ny" :)ReplyDelete
These are awesome! I'd be so excited to walk into a party and see these drinks being served.ReplyDelete
Oh yeah, Halloween is definitely the main time of year that we bring out the food coloring in everything to make it festive. My kids love Naked Juice's Green Machine - totally looks like authentic swamp juice without the food coloring!ReplyDelete
I love the creativity in life! The subtle colors. I think I just want to watch the wonderfully juiceReplyDelete
happy wheels

The woman who loaned him gave me the name stephanie smith, but she also goes by stephanie read/reed. She took him to burwell in cambs. The agreement was that she took him on loan for 3-4 months and if she was happy with him and I was sure he was happy and settled,we would discuss the possibility of me signing him over. I was told I could visit anytime but have been given various excuses as to why I can't since he's been gone. They have now stopped taking my calls and the only msg I have had from them said 'we have not got it on loan'. I managed to contact her today 6/4/11, she denied it was her although it definitely was. I said I wanted to see my horse and re-iterated what the deal was.i was told there was no horse to sign over as they have his passport so belongs to them.

Support bold work by Steve Pearce, Beto O'Rourke
At a time when the Congress has earned strong criticism for failing in its job to come together to solve America's problems, I want to strongly support New Mexico's own Republican Steve Pearce for his work introducing the American Families United Act, along with Texas Democrat Beto O'Rourke.
These two Representatives of border districts are doing exactly what we, the people, have been asking of them: they are studying often divisive immigration issues without partisanship or political posturing, and working with their constituents and the colleagues on both sides of the aisle to find solutions.
I am a member of AmericanFamiliesUnited.org, an organization of US citizens whose husbands and wives have been caught by the fish hooks and bear traps of our immigration system. That broken system ignores our rights as American citizens to have our cases heard before an immigration judge who can weigh what are often trivial or even purely technical immigration violations against the hardship imposed on Americans like me. That is what this legislation would change -- it would give us the right of due process: US citizens should be treated at least as generously as any others in any immigration reform.
I married my husband in 2007 and we are expecting our firstborn child between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is so exciting to be starting a new American family - and I applaud Congressman Pearce for recognizing that American families belong in America, together.
The rights of US citizens in immigration reform has not received the attention that it should. The leadership shown by Mr. Pearce and Mr. O'Rourke is a hopeful sign, that maybe the rights of US citizens can be the key that turns the immigration reform lock.

Parents need to take back education
Standardized testing is no longer a valid measure of students learning. It has become an institution unto itself -- created to unfairly evaluate teachers, punish schools, and create business opportunities for investors. The tests drive the current "reform" movement in public schools, which has nothing to do with preparing our kids for life and success.
Race to the Top infused a whole new nightmare into our public schools and privatization groups, like Jeb Bush's ironically named Foundation for Excellence in Education, have taken it all and gone full-sprint. Thanks to Jeb's foundation (and the cash they generously raised), our governor was happy to hire Florida's former Education Secretary to "reform" New Mexico's schools. Unfortunately, Hanna Skandera brought the total package with her from Florida, and it's hurting our schools, our teachers, and -- most importantly -- our children.
Santa Fe and PED aren't listening to teachers. They are battling the unions. Now, it's our turn -- the parents. No one has a bigger stake in this than we do. We have the power and the responsibility to stop these reforms before they do more damage, before they do irreversible damage.
New Mexico parents must use our love for our kids and our power as citizens. We must boycott the increasing numbers of meaningless and crushing tests, which do nothing for our children and only hurt their schools. Join New Mexico Refuse the Test on Facebook and attend an information and discussion forum. Find more information and get involved at http://nmrefuse.weebly.com

AG McDaniel OKs wording of county officials measure
LITTLE ROCK (AP) - Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel has approved the wording of a proposed constitutional amendment that would change the terms of county elected officials from two to four years.
McDaniel on Monday certified the language of the proposed ballot measure submitted by David Dinwiddie of Pine Bluff.
The proposal would apply to county judges, justices of the peace, sheriffs, collectors, treasurers, assessors, clerks, coroners, surveyors and constables.
McDaniel's certification clears the way for supporters to begin gathering the 78,133 signatures needed to place the measure on next year's ballot. If approved by voters, the amendment would take effect with any county officials sworn in after Dec. 31, 2014.
UA dedicates new dorm for honors students
FAYETTEVILLE (AP) - The University of Arkansas has dedicated a residence hall that has been refurbished to house students in its Honors College.
Hotz Honors Hall is nearly 50 years old and has opened for the fall semester after a two-year renovation project. A Monday ceremony marked the opening, though students have been living in the dorm since August.
Hotz Hall houses freshmen in the honors program. University officials say having a dorm just for freshmen honors students will help draw more high-achieving students to the Fayetteville campus.
Hotz was originally a women's dormitory and opened in 1964. It houses about 400 students and is designed to blend common areas among dorm rooms to help students interact.
Study: Methane leaks from gas drilling, fracking not huge
WASHINGTON (AP) - A new study finds that the process of drilling and fracking for natural gas doesn't seem to spew immense amounts of the greenhouse gas methane into the air, as has been feared.
This bolsters a big selling point for natural gas, that it's not as bad for global warming as coal.
And it undercuts a major environmental argument against fracking, a process that breaks apart deep rock to recover more gas.
The study doesn't address other fracking pollution concerns.
The results, which generally agree with earlier EPA estimates, were published Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
About 90 percent of the study funding came from nine energy companies that drill for natural gas.
The rest came from the Environmental Defense Fund.
Doctor files federal lawsuit to block law barring money to offenders
LITTLE ROCK (AP) - An Arkansas doctor convicted of possessing child pornography 13 years ago is suing the state over a new law that bars giving Medicaid money to convicted sex offenders.
Dr. Lonnie Joseph Parker filed a lawsuit in federal court on Friday and asked a judge to block enforcement of the new restriction, which took effect Aug. 16. The law prohibits any registered se offender from providing Medicaid services in the state.
The measure was introduced after a legislative audit noted that Parker had received more than $489,000 in Medicaid payments.
Parker was convicted in 2000 of possessing child pornography, but he has maintained his innocence. The state Medical Board in 2005 reinstated his license to practice medicine in Arkansas.
In the lawsuit, Parker argues the restriction violates his constitutional rights.
Beebe: Won't call session without consensus from legislators
LITTLE ROCK (AP) - Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe says he won't call lawmakers back to the Capitol to address a looming hike in teacher insurance premiums without the votes to pass short- and long-term fixes to the program.
Beebe told reporters Monday he's talking with legislators and state officials about options available for addressing the premium increases that 47,000 teachers will see starting Jan. 1. A state board last month approved increasing premiums by as much as 50 percent and some legislators say they need a special session to address the increase.
Beebe said he wants to know there's support for short-term relief for the teacher insurance program as well as for long-term changes that would help prevent similar increases in the future.
UA study: Museum field trips benefit Arkansas students
LITTLE ROCK (AP) - A study by the University of Arkansas of K-12 students who went on field trips to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art shows that children who visited the museum had improved critical thinking skills.
The university and the museum in Bentonville announced Monday that the study results are being published in the journal Education Next.
Researchers studied children who visited the museum and those who hadn't done so yet. Nearly 11,000 students were surveyed at more than 120 schools.
The museum says the study illustrates the value of field trips to cultural institutions at a time when budget pressures make it easy for school districts to cut field trips.
The Walker Foundation donated $10 million to reimburse schools for the costs of their Crystal Bridges field trips.
LR ramp from I-430 to Chenal closing this week
LITTLE ROCK (AP) - An exit ramp from northbound Interstate 430 to Chenal Parkway in west Little Rock will be closed from Wednesday through Friday this week so workers can hang steel as the interchange is reconstructed.
The state Highway and Transportation Department said Monday that construction crews will be hanging large beams that will carry southbound traffic onto I-630 eastbound. The "flyover" ramp goes over the I-430 north exit ramp.
Drivers wanting to go west on Financial Center and Chenal parkways will have to leave the interstate one exit early, at Shackleford Road, and travel along Hermitage Road to head west. There are no left turns allowed at the intersection of Shackleford and Financial Center Parkway.
Signs will mark the detour.
Hot Springs board to consider Oaklawn expansion
HOT SPRINGS (AP) - The Hot Springs Board of Directors is considering a resolution this week to approve a site plan for a major expansion at Oaklawn Park.
A resident appealed the Hot Springs Planning Commission's approval of the site plan for the racetrack. The Hot Springs Board of Directors is to vote on the plan Tuesday night.
The thoroughbred racetrack wants to expand its number of gambling tables and machines by about 50 percent.
The Sentinel-Record reports that the appeal questions whether Oaklawn will have sufficient parking to handle peak crowds during live racing season. The appeal also questions whether the expansion required a new rezoning for Oaklawn.
Hot Springs planning and development director Kathy Sellman says code requirements were met and Oaklawn's current zoning allows the expansion.

The Mission
Here is a short "preview" video clip from the documentary I am working on for TAN Books called "Seven Lies About Catholic History" which expands (and also simplifies) much of the content found in the book by Dr. Diane Moczar of the same name: Seven Lies About Catholic History (eBook) (Look Inside)
My crew from work, and I, completed the filming of all the commentators last month. Here is a short sample with historian Rev. James Garneau commenting on "The Mission", from the upcoming TAN Books documentary "Seven Lies About Catholic History". Discussion Questions included below…
…So, after hearing Father briefly explain the film, "The Mission", what are your first thoughts?
- What do you think of Fr. Garneau's points?
- If you've seen the movie, what are your favorite scenes, music, actors, etc?
- Do you think "The Mission" is historically accurate?
- Do you think "The Mission" does any services or disservices to Catholics today?
Thanks for reading, and remember to please share my blog with anyone you think would be interested! There are links below that make it very easy to share through email, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
God Bless!
Vatican's Great Films #01: Andrei Rublev (1966, USSR)
For the 100th anniversary of cinema in 1995, the Vatican created a list of "Great Films." The 45 films are seperated into three categories: "Religion", "Values" and "Art", each containing 15 diverse films.
This is the first post of, you guessed it, 45 posts on the Vatican's 45 films. In each post, I will briefly address each of the movies on the Vatican's Great Films list, and I am hoping to provide a small hub of info on each of these films and a discussion area for my readers (if you're up for it!).
I wanted to begin with the "Religion" category, since this blog is intended to bring light to videos from two perspectives of Catholicism and Video Production.
ANDREI RUBLEV (1966, USSR, Andrey Tarkovskiy)
The first film on the Vatican's list in the Religion category is Andrei Rublev (Russian: Андрей Рублёв, Andrey Rublyov), also known as The Passion According to Andrei, originally released in 1966. Edited versions were re-released multiple times in the following years for various purposes and audiences. This Russian production is loosely based on the life of Andrei Rublev a 15th-century monk who perseveres in painting icons and other religious art despite the civil disruptions and cruel turmoil of his times. Director Andrey Tarkovskiy visualizes brilliantly the story of a devout man seeking through his art to find the transcendent in the savagery of the Mongol-Tartar invasions and the unfeeling brutality of Russian nobles. The film features Anatoly Solonitsyn, Nikolai Grinko, Ivan Lapikov, Nikolai Sergeyev, Nikolai Burlyayev and Tarkovsky's wife Irma Raush.

- International Movie Database
USCCB & MPAA Ratings
- US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)
- A-II (Adults & Adolescents)
- Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)
- NR (Not Rated)
Roger Ebert called the casting of the Iron Bell in Andrei Rublev one of his "100 Great Movie Moments" along with moments from other classic films such as Gone With The Wind, Casablanca, True Grit and Star Wars.
What do you think?
– Have you seen one of the versions of Andrei Rublev?
– How did this film affect your life as a Catholic, if at all?
– What should ALL Catholics know before watching this movie?

By Carol MarraFrances crawled out an upper window of her family's Iowa farmhouse and onto the tin roof above the front porch; she was toting a tray of thinly sliced apples from the orchard. She placed them carefully on the tin roof to dry in the sun -- the roof was hot enough to keep the flies away. These apples would be the stars of the dried apple pudding, with whipped cream from the dairy cows, which was a staple of celebratory family dinners.

[UPDATED] Rebecca Black's 'Friday' Video is Gone, Gone, Gone, Gone!
Categories: Rebecca Black Watch
|Off YouTube, but forever stuck in our heads. Partyin' partyin' yeah!
According to Reuters, there's been a months-long dispute between Black's lawyers and Ark Music, which produced the YouTube megahit.
. . . Black says she never got the master recordings allegedly due to her by contract and that Ark hadn't attained the necessary rights to advertise her as an exclusive Ark recording artist and commercially exploit the song in derivatives like ringtones.
You'd think a so-called record label would have these legalities covered, but then again, who would have predicted a song about cereal and car seats would rack up more than 167 million views on YouTube and nearly $25,000 in weekly profits?
Seems like Black is now trying to make it on her own. Today on Twitter, the OC 13-year-old announced her "ONE AND ONLY OFFICIAL" Facebook page.
ORIGINAL POST, JUNE 16: 4:52 P.M.: Yesterday, it was here. To-day, it is gone. TechCrunch reports that Rebecca Black's "Friday," the music video we love to
secretly love hate has vanished from YouTube due to a copyright claim filed by Rebecca Black herself. Oh noes! How will we know what day it is?!

OK I am a road cyclist who will most likely be doing a 2 day/1 night tour at the end of June.
I have only done day rides and get by with my mini-seatbag which holds a spare tube, c02, tire irons, and patch kit.
I will obviously need a larger container to carry the bare essentials for an overnight tour: change of clothes, non-cycling shoes (I imagine flip flops are lightest and most compact), a few toiletries, etc.
I know some guys from my club have bought a "rack" that attaches to the seatpost and holds a decent size pack, 10+ pounds.
That is what I am trying to avoid, for a couple of reasons:
1. I am only going on this one overnight tour, probably not doing it again and I want to minimize cost/expense
2. My Ti road bike has a CF post and I have heard that those seatpost racks don't mix well with CF posts.
What I am looking for is a suggestion/recommendation on a large and inexpensive saddle bag to hold the essentials....is this possible?
PS I mentioned this to my non-cyclist wife and she said I should just borrow my daughter's backpack from school to carry my things. She doesn't get it.
Any suggestions welcome. Budget is 20-35 bucks.

Tokyo Game Show 2008: Motorstorm 2 Hands-on
Category: Misc - Tags: 2008, Evolution Studios, Motor Storm 2, Motorstorm 2, Ps3, Tgs, Tokyo Game Show, Tokyo Game Show 2008
The new Motor Storm 2 was exhibited at the Tokyo Game Show 2008. We waited impatiently to get our hands-on it to see what it had to offer… and found that Motorstorm 2 is almost the same as the previous version.
The novelty concerns tracks and a new type of car (Monster Truck), but that's it. The game remains beautiful, fluid, good speed impression (especially when you use the boost). Play with up to 16 players online…
First opus amateurs will be sure to enjoy it.

British mystery master Elly Griffiths enters the world of illusionists with The Zig Zag Girl, the first in a new series that has us looking behind the curtain in a whole new way.
Woe be unto the free-range American reader who casually picks up any of Louise Penny's Chief Inspector Gamache mysteries, set in the French-Canadian village of Three Pines, expecting a "Murder, She Wrote"-style cozy. The author erupts at the mere suggestion.
After 11 years, seven national best-selling books and a hit television series that became something of a pop culture phenomenon, author and Dexter series creator Jeff Lindsay closes out the series with his eighth and aptly titled final novel, Dexter Is Dead. Lindsay talks candidly about Dexter's surprising success, ending his own decade-long relationship with the iconic character and his own uncertain future as a novelist and playwright.
Czech writer Heda Margolius Kovály, best known for her memoir chronicling her time in Auschwitz (Under a Cruel Star), drew from her later harrowing experiences in 1950s Soviet Prague for her only work of fiction, Innocence. This espionage thriller follows the chilling and stifling atmosphere of political oppression during the post-WWII days of Communist Czechoslovakia. Neighbor and friends are suddenly not to be trusted, as govenrment informants are hidden everywhere, and innocence begins to lose meaning to those in the government. Innocence is available in an English translation for the first time due to award-winning literary translator and co-chair of the PEN America Translation Committee, Alex Zucker. We asked Zucker a few questions about his translation process for Innnocence, the Czech language and more.
It's rare to find two successful writers in one household, and even more rare when both authors have new books published at the same time. But for Tasha Alexander and Andrew Grant, it's all part of the everyday reality (and delight) of being a married couple who share the same profession: writing novels.
Fans of Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad novels have undoubtedly been eager to discover the protagonist of her fifth book, The Secret Place. The wait is over, and this time Detective Stephen Moran takes the spotlight in this clever, fast-paced mystery set at an all-girls Irish boarding school.
Question: How does one possibly attempt to add to the crime canon of Agatha Christie, whose 80 mystery novels and short story collections have sold more than two billion copies, trailing only the Bible and her countryman William Shakespeare? Answer: Very. Very. Carefully.
Elizabeth Little is making waves with her clever debut mystery, Dear Daughter. Written with what our Whodunit columnist calls "one of the cheekiest voices in recent memory," Little follows a now-notorious Los Angeles socialite's investigation into her mother's grisly murder: a murder that's been pinned on her. We caught up with Little and asked her about life in LA, her favorite heroines in mystery and more in a 7 questions interview.
Antonio Hill follows up his Spanish sun-soaked crime debut The Summer of Dead Toys with his second Inspector Salgado mystery, The Good Suicides. A cryptic and unnerving message is sent to a select group of managers at a cosmetics company: a horrifying photo of dogs hanging from a tree accompanied by the line, "Never forget." Soon, those on the receiving end of the email begin committing suicide in grotesquely creative ways, and the rattled Salgado is thrust into the investigation. We caught up with Hill and chatted about Barcelona's best (and not-so-great) qualities, his work in literary translation and more in a 7 questions interview.
R.J. Ellory's standout new novel, Saints of New York, is our July 2014 Top Pick in Mystery. Past and present storylines are equally compelling in this vast and beautifully written novel. We chatted with the British author via email about his masterful new work.
The characters in Saints of New York—from the corrupt cops to the good cops—are all extremely flawed. They're also surrounded by a world that is extremely dark, and even the "saints" are far from saintly. Was this a difficult book to write?
I think it's an honest book, and I try to imbue every book I write with that kind of analysis and exposure of the human condition.

The little hill at Duluth's Chester Bowl is a throwback to a time when skiing was more community than industry, a place where kids can ski without their parents needing a second mortgage.

Hi i am doing a project searching for portrait photographs everywhere. I am trying to gather as many peoples individual portrait photographs in the world to create a book to submit for my final degree piece, this counts towards my final university grade. I would be grateful if anyone could send me a portrait photograph, any kind of photograph, it doesnt actually have to be you if you dont want , can just be your perception of your portrait. Again I will be so so grateful if you could mail me your single images to email@example.com, possibly attaching a sentence relating to your portrait but no worries if you can't just the phootgraph itself would be great. I'm excited to see what comes from this and really hope anyone can help. Thanks so much for taking your time to read this post. I have attatched a portrait photograph by the photographer Maia Flore, which inspires me to give you an idea of the type of work I am really interested in.

5210 tip of the week
Rest and recovery is important for good performance. If you run yourself ragged, you lose focus. When that happens, its easy to reach for something outside ourselves as a pick me up, such as sweet treats, caffeinated drink, or energy drinks. While some of these appear healthy, they can be risky for kids and teens. Caffeine tolerance and its impact on the body depends on ones size and where you are in your growth. Instead of reaching for outside energy, listen to your body and take a break, rest and recover.
Awesome 3000
When: May 5; arrive 45 minutes before scheduled run time
Where: McCulloch Stadium in Bush Pasture Park
Register: Register online at skeducationfoundation.org or drop off registrations and check at Salem Family YMCA, 685 Court St. NE, or Where the Sidewalk Begins, 233 Commercial St. NE, Salem. Mail registrations to SKEF/Awesome 3000, 233 Commercial St. NE, Salem, OR 97301
Cost: $12 pre-K, $18 K-12, $2 fee if register online and $10 extra after April 22; registration closes April 29
Today well add two important steps to your workout: the warm-up and cool down. There is no doubt that time spent warming up and cooling down will improve your running performance and speed the recovery process. Warming up and cooling down gets our muscles ready and helps keep us from getting injured.
A warm-up is simply getting your body ready for physical activity. If you ever watch a school physical education teacher or coach, youll see they make warming up and cooling down high priorities. These practices are essential parts of school P.E. classes, run training sessions and the Awesome 3000 itself.
Warming up increases the core temperature of your body, which in turn increases your heart rate and blood flow to tissues, improving oxygen absorption and removal of gases. The cool down allows remaining gases and lactic acid to be removed, and that reduces stiffness.
Having good form while you run will help you run more efficiently, too. Make sure your head is up and your arms are in proper form. Arms should swing straight front to back, not across the body. The hands must be relaxed instead of clenched tightly, and the chest should be tall. Foot placement always should be in a straight line, not side to side.
After warming up and running drills, make sure to cool down with 5 to 10 minutes of easy jogging, then stretching.
Dave Johnson is the Awesome 3000 running coach and a former medalist in the Olympic decathlon. He is director of athletics at Corban University.

Building a 4x4 rv
Posted 19 September 2009 - 05:24 PM
Posted 19 September 2009 - 06:20 PM
It seems the "longbed" was discontinued around 88 which is what these shorter RV's (18') were put on without any frame modifications (* between wheel bases). After 88, the longbed frame was still used, but came with the extra cab. All the beds were now the shortbed version.
In order for you to put a typical Sunrader 18' shell on a truck, you will need to find a longbed truck (aka pre 89). If you'd like to build an RV with a post 88 generation truck, you will have to extend the frame or do a cab swap as I don't see any longbed trucks in this era other than the T100 or Tundra. * Longbed being referred to as the distance from the rear of the cab to the center line of the rear wheels for sake of a shell swap.
Now there are some 2wd 18' sunraders it appears that are in fact on post 88 frames, but maybe they were a special order for the RV manufacturer as they wouldn't need a "bed" or possibly extended frames? Basically these are long bed frames with single cabs (what I did with my own project to get around extending the frame). I haven't looked at a newer sunrader to see if the frames were extended or the cab mounts moved etc, but everything that was sold during this time was either short frame w/ single cab or extra cab on long frame. So these setups are definitely not normal. I do not know of any 4x4 Sunraders that were made in this era which is also the start of the V6.
One member Monty, did in fact take an extra cab 4x4 v6 and extend the frame to fit his 18' rader. He has some pics in the gallery + talks a little about his frame extending in the sawzall thread.
There are also a few other rigs in that thread that were conversions and/or home built as was the case with the "super camper".
Good luck with your project. It would be a straight forward conversion for a pre-89 4x4 longbed or a T100/Tundra minus the rear suspension/desired axle work. Getting the shell high enough off the ground might be a bit of a challenge, but if there's a will, there's a way. Just be safe.

Those might be hard to find. I actually gave mine away to a member here, Toyoguy, a few months ago.. sorry. If you can rid your camper of those windows, the better I would think. The newer sunraders don't have wrap around front windows probably for a reason. In fact the newer raders I've seen don't have any windows there at all. There's a lot of water running off that part of the roof. The curtains were always closed up there anyways. You won't miss them.
The 2 front windows are cracked, any sources for new windows.
RV manufacturers prob stop building them around 86/87. Others would know more. They seem really rare and have never seen a 4x4 utility bed or stakebed toyota truck.
what years did toyota make one ton dually 4x4's?
That certainly seems like one option. I'm pretty sure Nolan did something like this with one of his Chinooks seen on the main portal? From what it sounds, your camper will be gutted/remodeled. Once gutted, the thing doesn't weigh too much and you could get it up in the air without too much trouble. Toyoguy has used some jacks to jack up his shell through the windows. You might pm him to send some pics. Transferring to a new chassis would almost seem the easiest route. Maybe not tho.
Could I take a 4x2 rig, beef up rear suspension and swap out a 4x4 driveline thus avoiding removing camper and putting it on another truck.
Prob, but this would be a lot of work in terms of wiring harness, electrical components, motor mounts, and a host of other things. There are probably better engines for this kind of swap regardless.
Can a v6, say a 3vze engine fit in a mid 80's toyota?
That would seem very useful and a great idea if the truck was to be used separately!
I was thinking sealing the cabover part of the camper, not cuting the roof of the 4x4 cab I use, and making a canvas, or other material, closure for both the truck and camper.
GLuck and get some good insulation in the walls/floor/ceiling if you plan to use this as a ski mobile.
What about a chinook? That seems the easiest/lightest/most manoeuvrable of the toyotas to convert to a new 4x4 truck.

Detroit— Suburban leaders lashed out at the embattled water department, following Wednesday's indictments of those who oversaw the system.
For years, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department has been at odds with suburban leaders over water rates and cost overruns. But now it's time for sweeping change, said Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner John McCulloch.
McCulloch said he's raised issues for years about contracts issued to Ferguson and presented them to U.S. District Judge John Feikens, who oversaw the water department for decades until his retirement last month.
"The entire system has been extremely dysfunctional, and we need to start with a blank sheet of paper as to how the system is governed and how the system is managed on a day-to-day basis," McCulloch said.
Wednesday's indictment alleges former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and ex-water boss Victor Mercado conspired to steer contracts to Bobby Ferguson and held up millions of dollars in other deals after bidders refused to involve the mayor's longtime friend.
Over the last decade, suburban leaders have pushed for a larger role in the water system, which serves 4 million people in 126 communities. Double-digit increases were common while Mercado led the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department.
Warren Mayor Jim Fouts called for an outside auditor. His wish: one member each from Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.
"It's time we have the water board completely restructured. We have taxation without representation, and today is the beginning of the renewal of that effort," Fouts said.
"Not all has been done above board and fair. There's a dark cloud that hangs on the water board."
Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson said the size and scope of the indictment was telling.
"You can see why it took so long — the paper trail is complex," Patterson said.
"They've got videotape, wiretaps. They weren't going to charge prematurely. They nailed it down pretty strong," he said of federal prosecutors.
Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano called it "another setback for the city and southeast Michigan."
"No one is above the law, and justice must be pursued. I hope the matters are resolved quickly so the region … can move on," Ficano said.
A spokesman for Mayor Dave Bing declined comment. Bing was first elected to complete Kwame Kilpatrick's term after the former mayor quit and went to jail for crimes related to the text message scandal in 2008.
Councilman Kenneth Cockrel Jr., who briefly succeeded Kilpatrick as mayor, hoped the indictment marks a turning point.
He said attention should be focused not "on the past misconduct of fallen leaders, but rather on resolving the present day challenges."
Peter Karmanos, the CEO of Compuware Corp. who hired Kilpatrick as a salesman after his jail stint, declined comment.
Oralandar Brand-Williams and Jennifer Chambers contributed.

Very emotional. Excellent photography, I love and live it !
Very, very, very good. Congrats.
Maria Thereza
Great shots, I'm always jealous of those that can create such good shots with film… it's so much harder than digital. I get what you mean though about them being more magical, film captures something that digital just can't in the same way vinyl captures sounds that an mp3 can't. Keep up the great work.
The shot in the hallway kissing is incredible.

I am currently working on a project created using VS2005 in the WinXP SP2
platform. This project included various open source libraries such as
OpenSSL, Crypto++ and log4cpp. There are no compilation errors but when I
run it, the following error occur:
R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library
I have also set the generate manifest option under the project settings to
yes and I am still encountering this problem. Does anyone know how I can
resolve this?
Probably this will help:
Thanks for your reply. I ran through a couple of articles including the one
you have posted. Most of them indicate the following:
1) Set Generate Manifest option to Yes
- I already have this by default
2) Set Embed Manifest option to Yes else run MT.exe
- I already have the option set by default. So am I right that I would not
be required to run MT.exe?
3) Installation of Visual C++ Redistributable Package
- I already have installed this. However, do I need to recreate my project
after installing this? Also, it seems that theres no prompt to indicate
completion of the installation. Is it suppose to be like that?
I have done all the above and its still not working. Can I check that the
manifest is only created for the project where I am using all the open source
libraries. Do I still need to include manifest for the open source libraries
as well?
Well, I never experienced R6034 error myself. I suggest to
open your executable with Depends utility (and run
profiling, if necessary). It can reveal DLL loading problems
and pinpoint offending DLL exactly. In theory, if EXE and
DLL both link to dynamic version of CRT, then the same CRT
library should be used by both components.
Also, if you can re-create you project from scratch by
adding new components one by one, it worth trying. Then
you'll get clear indication when projects stops working.
Sorry I couldn't give more specific advise.
No problem, really appreciate your advice. Currently, I am actually
performing the incremental development just as you have mentioned. Problems
revealed... It seems that I have problems with the open source libraries.
You mention about the Depends utility, can I know where I can download it and
is there any documentation on how to use it?
Its full name is "Dependency Walker". Here is the site:
Thanks for the info. Will share with you once I manage to resolve the problem.
In the project properties, under Manifest Tool\Input and Output, ensure
that "embed manifest" is set to "yes".
Thanks for your reply. I have that set as default as well.

[6]Today we join others in disseminating a report from Multnomah County's Coalition of Communities of Color [7] that addresses the relationships among foundations and communities of color in Oregon.
The just-published report – Philanthropy and Communities of Color in Oregon: from strategic investments to assessable impacts amidst growing racial and ethnic diversity [6]– grows out of two earlier reports.
Communities of Color in Multnomah County: An Unsettling Profile [8] (May 2010) documented racial disparities across 27 systems and institutions in the Portland metropolitan area. Those sobering findings support the increasing focus at Meyer Memorial Trust and other foundations on equity, disparities and diversity.
In 2009, MMT joined with Grantmakers of Oregon and Southwest Washington, the Foundation Center and several of our peer foundations to seek a better understanding of the extent to which our resources are reaching people of color in our region. This collaboration resulted in Grantmaking to Communities of Color in Oregon [9](December 2010), a report that is serving as an important tool for funders to assess their capacity to track specific populations reached by their grants and to reflect on their giving within the context of their missions and priorities, Oregon's demographics and the broader Oregon philanthropic community.
[9]As a responsive, general purpose foundation, Meyer Memorial Trust has a broad perspective on equity and diversity – income, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, abilities/disabilities and geography are examples of some of the many aspects that regularly factor into and influence our work as we strive to use our resources to build and support thriving communities.
Oregon's demographics are rapidly shifting and disparities in quality of life continue to deepen among different segments of our population. Disparities in areas such as income, educational attainment, employment and health are particularly visible in our communities of color and there are not always meaningful opportunities for all residents to fully participate in civic affairs and a diverse cultural life. Racism and privilege have had destructive effects on communities of color, even in ways that are not easily recognized. The latest economic crisis has had a disproportionate impact on marginalized communities, making the need to close these gaps more urgent. These trends have serious implications for everyone in our region.
As we and other Oregon funders have begun to more deeply explore how equity overlays our respective missions, funding strategies and how we collect data, the Coalition of Communities of Color in Multnomah County has offered its perspective, engaging with us in discussions about strengthening our connections with communities of color. These discussions and the Coalition's report provide additional layers of thought-provoking input and ideas, which is further informing MMT's work around equity.
Equity, disparities and diversity – deep and complex issues with integral ties to our region's ability to thrive – are important to Meyer Memorial Trust and are essential factors in our ability to further our mission. We have a history of funding partnerships with Coalition member agencies, other culturally specific organizations, mainstream nonprofits and public institutions throughout Oregon that are working to eliminate disparities, open doors to opportunities for people of color and other marginalized populations, and celebrate and preserve the diverse, vibrant cultures that define our region. We look forward to continuing these relationships and establishing new ones as we strengthen and sharpen our equity lens to address the needs of people and build assets in all of our region's communities.
As we approach our 30th anniversary, we have been revisiting the mission, vision and values that drive Meyer Memorial Trust's work. Working towards equity has been at the center of those discussions and decisions as we plan for the coming year and those that follow. When we report on that work, we will share our progress, acknowledge our challenges and reflect on what we learn.
To mark MMT's 30th birthday in April 2012, we look forward to unveiling our renewed mission, vision and values and outlining more specifically how we will work toward equity. There is no more important work for us to do.

Geographic Scope and Other Musings
Great report but highly recommend that it would have been better to share demographic data for greater Portland region (Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, Yamhill and Clark counties). Broad cross-section of data and we should be encourage regional as well as local look at this.
Additionally, there is a huge need in terms of cross-cultural mentoring by helping key identified emerging leaders to learn how to navigate and weave along cross-cultural lines to build broader community to build deep relationship for a better community that recognizes key values.
Need to better match private higher education and and OUS institutions to deal with these issues and break down silos. Publish data on who is doing what and award and recognize institutions that are doing well and provide leadership and training to those who are not.
Finally, need to get CEO level involvement in regional business community to bring financial and human resources to bear on this issue.

Education and Entrepreneurship
The lack of education and entrepreneurship, in the communities of color
is at a all time low.
1. Most people of color fail to get the right education
2. They dropout of school before graduating
The reason:
1. Low income, to no income
2. Children lack of eating breakfast before goin to school
3. Parents on drugs
4. Bad Game activeties
5. They are foster kids
6. Lack the ability to read and write

Reggie Holmes scored 20 points and Morgan State claimed its first NCAA tournament berth by beating Norfolk State 83-69 on Saturday night in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship game.
Jermaine Bolden added 18 points and Kevin Thompson had 15 points
and 11 rebounds for the top-seeded Bears (23-11).
They reeled off 18 consecutive points in the first half and 11
straight in the second, shot 49 percent and figured out the
Spartans' energetic full-court press in plenty of time to send
two-time MEAC coach of the year Todd Bozeman to his first NCAA
tournament since he guided California there in the mid-1990s.
The next stop for these Bears: The sport's grandest stage, most
likely as either a 15th or 16th seed.

Written by Anne Earney Thursday, 19 January 2006 04:54Anger seems to be the constant undercurrent among the actors, especially during the first act, despite talk of happy times and of liking one another.
As Touch begins, Kyle Kalke stands on a completely black stage amid black blocks and rocks, alone, as isolated as if he were on the moon. Before the lights go up, stars twinkle on the black wall behind him. Then, under bright spotlights that cast long shadows, Kyle tells the audience of his love of astronomy, and his other passion—his wife. Zöe was warm, loving, outgoing—all things Kyle had not been before he met her.
Through anecdotes and stories, Kyle (Jason Cannon) tells the audience that all they had in common was a great love for each other, like nothing he had known before. Kyle was "a Keats freak," as Zöe once told her sister, so he must have had an understanding of love as Keats saw it, and perhaps also a fear of early death—the other experience Zöe brought to him.
Zöe meets an unfortunate, mysterious, violent end, leaving Kyle with more questions to deal with than the average widower, and he alienates himself from everyone except his best friend, Bennie (Travis Estes). Throwing himself into work and turning to a prostitute named Kathleen (Margeau Steinau) to numb his mind, Kyle can think of nothing that would make him feel better, except for one particular astrological happening—one not often seen. Bennie is thrown together with Zöe's sister, Serena (Sarah Cannon), by Kyle's absence, and this results in a bittersweet turn of events for Kyle.
Gradually, through spending time with Kathleen, Kyle does come out of his shell. Kathleen seems fearless, not afraid to push Kyle. Eventually, he caves into his feelings. When he first began to see her, he wouldn't let her touch him, and she wouldn't let him kiss her, but after many encounters, they both gave in, and Kyle finds another friend.
Steinau is fabulous as Kathleen. She creates a captivating, likeable prostitute, with a contagious optimism that at times seemed foolish, and other times brave. While in many ways Kathleen is a prostitute like any other—skimpily dressed, attractive but not beautiful—Steinau doesn't give the audience a stereotypical hooker, but rather the kind of woman one actually finds in the profession.
Estes portrays a steady best friend in all ways, giving a touching performance, especially as he steps in to do the things Kyle can't, at times without knowing whether Kyle desires anything to be done at all. Both of the Cannons come across as confident actors, Sarah as a woman changed by love, and Jason as a man changed by loss, but none of the three bring the same level of nuance to the stage as Steinau.
With the exception of Steinau, anger seems to be the constant undercurrent among the actors, especially during the first act, despite talk of happy times and of liking one another. That anger often culminates in yelling, and although the raised voices seemed appropriate to the action, at times it was jarring, and perhaps blunted the emotions of the audience.
It was easy to guess where the play was going by the middle of the second act. All the elements come together neatly—perhaps too neatly. Possibly some of the subtlety of the script may have been lost, or run over, by the continuous anger onstage.
The actors do well at communicating the nature of deep relationships, connections with one another and with one's own interests, and the ability of these relationships to be catalysts for change.
Deanna Jent's direction made good use of the space, conveying everything from a living room to a desert grave with just the black set and a few props. Occasionally it seemed as if the characters were part mountain goat, as they did a lot of climbing and leaping onto the back half of the stage. Overall, the action easy to follow and the positioning of the actors contributed to their characters, as when Bennie spends time on stage in the first act, in the background, with no lines, only supporting glances and nods at Kyle, foreshadowing the role of supportive friend he would play throughout.
Touch offers an interesting glimpse into the raw pain of loss and the joy of love for one man caught at an irreconcilable juncture of the two, and ties this neatly to the enormous, cold universe surrounding the characters, and the unique, tiny spirit of each individual.

Brazilian dilemma: Grain and storage
Tropical climates that allow for year-round farming would seem to be a tremendous economic advantage, but for corn and soybean farmers in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, it also poses a problem -- an abundance of grain followed by about a 10% postharvest loss, partially due to a lack of storage.
"There is a 34% undercapacity of soybean storage, and the situation is aggravated by the rapidly increasing production of second-crop maize," said University of Illinois agricultural economist Peter Goldsmith. "The worst situation occurs in northern Mato Grosso with a simulation of a full-maize second crop. The potential to succession crop is great and current levels of storage are low. There is clear evidence of a shortage of storage, particularly private and cooperative, as grain production rises in the state," he said.
Goldsmith conducted the research project, which was the first to employ geographic information system (GIS) software to map the coordinates of commercial, cooperative, and private grain storage facilities in Mato Grosso.
"We created GIS coordinates for every facility, mapped them, and then overlaid how much the production there currently is and how much production there would be if farmers were to produce and store a second corn crop on 100% of the bean crop, in order to find the areas that had the most congestion and the least congestion," Goldsmith said.
The study focused on commercial warehouses with capacity greater than 50,000 metric tons, mapping the state's 2,143 registered warehouses.
"One region in the northern part of the state is about 6.9 million metric tons under capacity," Goldsmith said. "That's 270 million bushels. If a typical grain bin holds about 50,000 bushels, that's equivalent to 5,420 50,000-bushel grain bins. The area south of that in Lucas is 5 million metric tons under capacity. Of course, the actual undercapacity situation may be less because it assumes double-crop production on every acre. It would be highly unlikely that every acre would be farmed for soybean, maize, and a safrinha, or 'little crop.' Alternatively, though, maize yields are less than half that commonly found in the midwestern U.S., so there is a significant upside to the size of the maize crop.'"
Goldsmith said that the information will help determine the best, most convenient locations for additional storage.
"The state of Mato Grosso, where I've been working for the past dozen years, is the largest state producing soybeans in the world," Goldsmith said. "It produces 38% of Brazil's soybeans and an increasingly greater percentage of corn. It's also the number one state in Brazil for rice, cattle, and cotton. Over my years of involvement, I have seen it change from being an emergent agro-industrial complex state to a state that is now a global leader."
Goldsmith said that the project was funded by the Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) Institute for the Prevention of Postharvest Loss at the University of Illinois, which researches many different aspects of postharvest loss in developing countries, in addition to storage.


text: I found a Rolleiflex strap on eBay from China. I think it's the real deal although it could be a high-quality knock-off. The scissor-clips seem solid and authentic, and the leather they attach to says "Rollei" on it. The strap itself is webbing, about 1"-1.25" wide, and has a decent rubber back-of-the-neck pad. It was about $40 including shipping from China, which took a reasonable 7-8 days IIRC.

Election 2013: Sawant passes Conlin in City Council raceNovember 12, 2013 at 4:23 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle politics | 51 Comments
(Added: Seattle Times photo by Greg Gilbert, republished with permission)
4:23 PM: The newest ballot count is just in from King County Elections, and the race that has had the city on the edge of its election-watching seat has continued going the challenger's way: Kshama Sawant now leads incumbent Richard Conlin in the Seattle City Council Position 2 race. Numbers here – 79,751 for Sawant, 79,710 for Conlin:
4:41 PM: If you haven't been paying close attention, Sawant is a community-college economics teacher who ran as a Socialist. If she wins, she will be the first Socialist member of the Seattle City Council; she would be the fourth woman and second person of color on the current council. She would have to run again in 2015 because of Seattle Charter Amendment 19, which won in a landslide, setting up elections by district for seven of the council's nine seats, including the creation of West Seattle's District 1. (A Facebook group is already active for discussing ramifications – find it here.)
Meantime, the numbers from the next batch of ballots will be announced tomorrow around 4:30 pm. As our partners at The Seattle Times note, Sawant had 46 percent of the vote on Election Night, but has been closing the gap daily ever since.

Pity. She was one of the multitude of politicians who decided her wishes were more important than the privacy of strangers and used robocalls many times to my number with caller-id faked and no way to return the call and tell her to stop.
I imagine her politics will reflect a similar ""bleep" the citizens and their privacy, I know what's best". attitude.
Comment by Jim P. — 4:58 pm November 12, 2013 #
Dang. Conlin has always been a voice of common sense and reason to balance against Mayor Hothead. We're rather progressive as it is, Dave. I see Sawant as a flamethrower rather than a true let's get things done type of council member. I hope I'm wrong.

There have been more than one previous persons of color on the Seattle City Council. I presume you are referring to Norm Rice, whom I believe is the only African-American ever to serve on the Council. Asians are considered "persons of color" as well (Charlie Chong, Wing Luke, and Bruce Harrell come to mind).
Comment by bada-bing — 5:26 pm November 12, 2013 #
I'm very excited about this turn of events. I could care less about what party Sawant identifies herself, I just like her policy positions and am sick of Conlin's terrible agenda for Seattle's transit issues.
Comment by al — 5:30 pm November 12, 2013 #
I wrote *on the current council*, not historically. Right now Bruce Harrell is the only person of color on the council; if Sawant joins the current lineup, she would be the second on the current council. Of course there have been others historically.
I think the reality of serving on the council will show her the real world. Conlin had served four terms–enough. Time to let someone other than gray haired white people serve the city. (I am a gray haired white guy, full disclosure). I am confident she will be good for us, or I wouldn't have voted for her.
Comment by JayDee — 5:40 pm November 12, 2013 #
Holy sh*t! I thought it was pretty boneheaded for people to vote for the districting, but not the public financing. At least we're getting this one right. Just when I start to lose faith in this city it surprises me.

I get the patronizing note, Dave. But a city has to function for everyone. I and a lot of other people were tired of Mcginn imposing his vision on us, just as people rejected Nickles' vision — and I still like and would support Nickles. But people want a city that works, and I think Conlin gets that more than Sawant.

I didn't vote for any of the council races because I thought the incumbents would win.
Comment by Wes Cider — 6:45 pm November 12, 2013 #
Sawant is just another socialist who keeps people dependent on government handouts instead of lifting people to be independent of government and self-sufficient. Higher taxes for those of us who still have the initiative to work for a living is on the horizon. Note: Conlin started as a Green Party progressive. I didn't vote for either one.

Comment by JK — 7:47 pm November 12, 2013 #
Although I voted for Conlin, whom I see as a voice of reason, I suspect Sawant will be harmless at worst. If she is true to her socialist vision of the world, she'll be alone on an island for 4 years and then be voted out. Notwithstanding her prime constituency, which is the Stranger crowd (think: whining, self-absorbed urban hipsters), Seattle is liberal, but not stupid (hence why we got rid of McGinn). Socialism is, to be unkind, not very intelligent political philosophy, especially at the local level. Extremism, whether far right or far left, is usually pretty stupid at its roots.
However, clearly she is a very bright woman with talent. If she figures out that governing in the real world is more complicated and nuanced than socialist dogma would suggest, then perhaps she'll develop into a genuine progressive voice who is part of finding solutions. I hope so, and if she wins, I'll wish her the best.
Comment by wscommuter — 7:55 pm November 12, 2013 #
I voted for Sawant not because I agree with her style 100%, but because I think the council is clearly too comfortable with itself and needs to be shaken up a little. Not even anything against Conlin… he just happened to be on the wrong side of the candidate with the best chance to win. I'm a little disappointed that we're still talking about "person of color"; I thought that we were past that. I didn't even know what color the others were until I read that.

HJ – I would like to think we are post-gender, post-race, post-sexual-orientation, but I don't believe that we are quite yet. Eventually it will no longer be remarkable. P.S. The council is technically nonpartisan and I also hope we get to a post-party era someday!!!! – Tracy
wscommuter, you'd be very surprised. I am a 66 yo woman, I do not read the Stranger, and I am far, far from being a " whining, self-absorbed urban hipster". I and many people around my age voted for Ms. Sawant. We need a change. Sixteen years as a councilperson is enough. Mr. Conlin needed to go. Ms. Sawant is a breath of fresh air against the same ol', same ol'. Mr. Conlin never met a developer he didn't like. As you go around West Seattle and see all the new builds that will be choking WS transportation, remember that.
Tracy, I agree. Many of us are so tired of the "us vs. them" war that seems to be what runs our gov't., both state and nationally.
I thought all of the city council members were already socialists?

Comment by pupsarebest — 10:49 pm November 12, 2013 #
Even if you're gray-haired and white, it's foolish to criticize Conlin based on his skin and hair color.
If you think he's complacent, or whatever, then go that route. Or call out something he's actually done (or failed to do) while in office.
You see, when you call out 'old white people' or 'white men' or whatever, you're saying it's OK to pick on one group based on their appearance, but not OK to pick on another. I guess you're using history to justify it, but it still doesn't work. Imagine if the election swung the other way and someone said "Oh, good, I'm glad we didn't end up with a brown-haired, brown skinned woman on the Council!"
Pretty offensive, eh?
It just divides people further.
And just for that I'm not revealing my color, gender, attire, shoe size, density of nose hair, or any other inconsequential detail about myself.
But I generally vote Democrat, if that matters.

Comment by Seattlite — 11:24 pm November 12, 2013 #
Great news – especially since Conlin chairs the Development Committee for the Seattle Council and has not been listening to folks on these issues, especially in West Seattle. Folks, a "Socialist" is merely a very liberal/progressive Democrat that believes we need to implement a social contract that takes care of all. Many Asian (Japan, Taiwan, etc.) and European countries (UK, France, Sweden, etc.), as well as Canada, would be considered Socialist Democracies. Let's stop playing on fears.

GJP2013 — No one is "playing on fear" but just stating facts. UK's and France's taxes are 60% to 75% to support their socialist governments. Health care in UK, Canada, France is about waiting months to see a specialist. That's why people (who can afford it) from these countries who have special needs medical problems find their way to USA for medical treatment. Based on what's going on in USA re health ins, dr shortage, etc., I don't know if that will be an option in the future.

Funny how the socialist countries have better standards of living, longer life, better indices of health than the U.S.A. And Thatcher was chagrined to find out that the most efficient way to cover healthcare for all was through the general tax. Yep, 3rd parties add cost.
Congrats Sawant!
Comment by LivesInWS — 11:37 am November 13, 2013 #
Congrats to Swant. She is someone who has worked hard to earn this. I encountered her at many a strike picket line, and to me that says something: that she is for everyday, walk of life people. I don't recall seeing very many other politicians out there talking to strikers and helping to support those souls on strike.

Hilarious! Please keep spewing the humor. It is appreciated.
Ah the folly of us self-important humans provides a steady source of humor and proves that stupidity is easily sustainable, in fact it may be our greatest sustainable resource, or at the very least it gives apathy a run for its money.
I hope Sawant is voted in. If nothing else it will be entertaining.

Didn't all the refugees from socialist countries who risked their lives and left everything behind teach us anything? Socialism has been a dismal, inhumane failure all over the world. Maybe she'll build a wall around the city with land mines, barbed wire, and guard towers?

B. P. Shillaber (1814-90) and C. G. Halpine (1829-68)
Humorist Benjamin Penhallow Shillaber (seated) of the "Boston Post" created Mrs. Partington, a scatterbrained character, for his comic sketches, and wrote three books, "Life and Sayings of Mrs. Partington" (1854), "Partingtonian Patchwork" (1873), and "Ike and his Friends" (1879). Charles Graham Halpine, an Irish journalist and poet, created the character of Miles O'Reilly, an Irish private in the Union Army. His famous satires appeared in the "New York Herald" and then as "Life and Adventures, Songs, Services and Speeches of Private Miles OReilly" (1864).
